Resource Profile: QICore MedicationRequest

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/StructureDefinition/qicore-medicationrequest Version: 6.0.0
Active as of 2018-08-22 Computable Name: QICoreMedicationRequest

Profile of MedicationRequest for decision support/quality metrics. Defines the core set of elements and extensions for quality rule and measure authors.

Usage

To create an expression specifically requesting information that a MedicationRequest intentionally did not occur for a medical, patient or system reason, use the profile QICore-Medicationnotrequested.

The following example illustrates the use of the MedicationRequest profile:

define "Antithrombotic Therapy at Discharge":
  ["MedicationRequest": medication in "Antithrombotic Therapy"] Antithrombotic
    where (Antithrombotic.isCommunity() or Antithrombotic.isDischarge())
      and Antithrombotic.status in { 'active', 'completed' }
      and Antithrombotic.intent = 'order'

See the patterns page for implementation and usage patterns.

Examples

Penicillin MedicationRequest Example
Cumulative Medication Duration Example
Patient Reported MedicationRequest Example
Patient Requested MedicationRequest Example
Practitioner Ordered MedicationRequest Example
