Minimum expectations for a MedicationRequest resource when accessed via a International Patient Access API. The MedicationRequest resource represents an order or request for both supply of the medication and the instructions for administration of the medication to a patient.

Mandatory and Must Support Data Elements

The following data elements must always be present (in other words, mandatory resource properties where the minimum cardinality is 1) or must be supported (Must Support definition). Servers cannot restrict access to mandatory elements when authorizing an application. However, servers may choose to provide additional information or may be required to do so by national or other profiles that apply to the server’s context.

Each MedicationRequest SHALL have:

  • a status
  • a code to indicate wether the request is a proposal, plan, or an original order
  • a medication*
  • a patient

* see guidance below

Applications must also support:

  • the reported flag or reference signaling that information is from a secondary source such as a patient
  • the encounter
  • a date for when written
  • the prescriber/requester
  • the prescription Sig

Profile Specific Implementation Rules and Guidance

Medication Statement and Medication Request

While the relationship between Medication Statement and Medication Request is clear in principle, in practice, when patients report medications, these may also be implicitly treated as statements of intent about what the patient should be taking. As such, information systems may record these statements as either Medication Requests or Medication Statements, or as both. The choice between these options may be influenced by many factors including wording in legislation and regulations.

For this reason, clients implementing the International Patient Access specification SHALL query for both MedicationStatement and MedicationRequest when fetching patient Medication information.

As noted there is currently no consensus how a patient can access their active, historical and future (planned) medications list. Feedback is welcome on what additional guidance can be given to promote more international alignment.

Fetching Medications

The MedicationRequest and MedicationStatement resources can represent a medication using either a code or refer to the Medication resource. When referencing Medication, the resource may be contained or an external resource. The server application MAY choose any one way or more than one method, but if an external reference to Medication is used, the server SHALL support the _include parameter for searching this element. The client application SHALL support all methods. For example, A server SHALL be capable of returning all medications for a patient using one of or both:

GET /MedicationStatement?patient=[id]

GET/MedicationStatement?patient=[id]&_include=MedicationStatement:medication

Medication specificity

When representing a prescribed medication, servers SHOULD use codings at the level of a clinical drug rather than ingredient or dose form (e.g. “loratadine 10mg oral tablet”, rather than a bare ingredient like “loratadine” or a dose form like “loratadine oral tablet”).
