The pharmacy staff should have the ability to enter any relevant information related to the pharmacist prescribe prescription (e.g. the rationale for prescribing, patient assessment, monitoring plane, details regarding patient consent, etc.) which may be required to be sent as per the jurisdictional regulations.

Conformance Rule: Any relevant information pertaining to the reason/rational that needs to be included as part of this notification, must be populated within this extension.

The PMS vendor can determine how best to populate this and what information to populate which adheres to jurisdictional regulations related to the information required to be part of the different prescribe notifications (pharmacist renewal, minor aliment prescribing etc.) that need to be communicated back to the prescriber.

Any additional information that needs to be communicated which cannot fit within this extension can be sent within the MedicationOrder.note.text element.
