DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND

This topic provides interactions for exchanging information about medication use for individual patients. The interaction exchanges can be internal to systems within a single healthcare institution or healthcare enterprise, or across systems within a community setting, or some other mix of systems that crosses any of these boundaries. The specific types of interactions will include notification, request/response and query/response interactions. The content in this topic includes information about medication use constructed from:

Example sources of information:

• patient self reporting
• patient narratives gathered by health care professionals (physicians, pharmacists, nurses, etc.)
• institutional medication administration records
• an existing medication record (list) in an EHR system
• insurance (claims) records

Medication statements and administrations may include information about medication use where the medications have been prescribed or not prescribed.

Medication statements and administrations may include "negative" statements such as - the patient has not taken medication ABC, or the patient has not been administered medication XYZ at 10:00 AM on Oct 3, 2010.

The business process being modeled is this topic is only concerned with stating information about medication use; it does NOT cover any processes of medication order fulfillment or medication allergy documentation or clinical decision support.
