The Medication Adherence Extension is used to report whether a medication has been consumed according to instructions as reported by a patient or on behalf of the patient.

Context of Use

This extension may be used on the following element(s):

  • Element ID MedicationRequest

Profile Specific Implementation Guidance:

This Complex Extension is made up of three sub-extensions:

  1. A required Medication Adherence Code, which is bound to the Medication Adherence ValueSet - a “starter” set of medication compliance SNOMED CT and NullValue codes. Its binding is extensible, and other concepts from SNOMED CT or another code system, including local codes, can be used. The table below illustrates basic scenarios of how an implementer can use them:

    Example Scenario Medication Adherence Code (SCT ID)|Preferred Term
    The medication is being taken as directed. 1156699004|Complies with drug therapy (finding)
    The medication is being taken, but not as directed. For example, the patient occasionally forgets or takes two pills instead of three. 702565001|Non-compliance of drug therapy (finding)
    The medication is not being taken. For example, the patient did not pick up a prescription. 715036001|Does not take medication (finding)
  2. A required date asserting when the information was provided
  3. A Must Support information source code with an example binding to the Medication Adherence ValueSet - a “starter” set of informant role codes.
