This structure is derived from MedicationOrder

NameCard.TypeConstraints and Usage
.  MedicationOrder 0..*MedicationOrderover25dur-true: IF over25dur = TRUE, total number of detectedissue must be 25
Definition:
An order for both supply of the medication and the instructions for administration of the medication to a patient. The resource is called "MedicationOrder" rather than "MedicationPrescription" to generalize the use across inpatient and outpatient settings as well as for care plans, etc.


Comments:
For Task p190-m - Pharmacist Prescribe, this conveys the medication order.

..  id 1..1idDefinition:
The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.


Comments:
Usage Note: This will usually be a GUID and is assigned by the sending application.

..  contained 1..1ResourceDefinition:
These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: This will be used to contain the Medication resource. No other resources should be 'contained'.

..  extension 0..*ExtensionSlice: Unordered, Open by value:url
Definition:
An Extension

..  extension
     (category) 		0..1Medication Order CategoryDefinition:
Sub-categorizes medication prescriptions into drugs, devices, compounds, etc. May be used to apply sub-type-specific constraints


Comments:
Conformance Rule: If no appropriate code exists, provide details using the 'text' component.

..  extension
     (prescribeReason) 		0..1Medication Order Prescribe ReasonDefinition:
Provides a textual description to convey any relevant reasons/rational related to the why the pharmacist’s created the prescription. 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.


Comments:
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.

..  extension
     (renderedDosageInstruction) 		1..1Medication Rendered Dosage InstructionDefinition:
This represents the complete instruction on how the medication is to be taken by the patient as entered by the pharmacy on the dispense or prescription.


Comments:
Usage Note: This will be populated by the PMS and will reflect the directions as presented to the patient on the label. The rendered dosage instruction will contain all dosage instructions such as dosage quantity, dosage unit, frequency, frequency period administration start/end date, route etc. as well as any additional instructions (e.g. take with food, starting one day before dental appointment) that are provided to the patient on the label.



Conformance Rule: This field must contain all the dosage information assembled into one field, this includes any overflow or supplemental directions that do not get included on the label as they are too long but are still are provided to the patient. The dosage information must be in a clear readable format, meaning that codes should not be used (e.g. 'days' should be used instead of 'd', 'oral' should be used instead of 'PO') unless this is how it is presented on the patients label.

..  extension
     (protocol) 		0..10Medication Order ProtocolDefinition:
Identifies the Protocol, Order set, Guideline or other definition that guided the creation of this prescription


Comments:
FUTURE USE ONLY

..  extension
     (treatmentType) 		0..1Medication Order Treatment TypeDefinition:

Comments:
Conformance Rule: Cardinality must be 0..1 for Shared Health List-Allergies and 0..2 for Shared Health Pharmacy-related Observation (i.e. 1 for height and 1 for weight) as per bundle



Conformance Rule: When sending this is the current list of allergies and observation for the patient from the sending system and should not include or replay back any information that is received in an incoming message.



Conformance Rule: Only 1 allergy list, 1 weight and 1 height observation can be sent per bundle. If different values need to be sent that are specific to one medication order that must be sent as part of the pharmacist instructions or note data elements instead.



Usage Note: See the functional specifications document for further requirements related to sending the allergy and observations information.



Usage Note: The URL for this extension does not refer to an existing web-page as is a pre-adoption extension. Refer to the Shared Health implementation Guide for more information.

..  extension
     (detectedIssue) 		0..25Request-related Detected IssuesDefinition:
A set of managed and relevant detected issues that should be transmitted along with a prescription or order to provide context during the execution of that order.


Comments:
Usage Note: This is a reference to the resource which is used to convey Managed Detected Issues (DUR)

..  extension
     (pharmacyInstructions) 		0..1Request Dispenser InstructionsDefinition:
Provides additional instructions from the prescriber to the pharmacy or other dispenser


Comments:
Usage Note: To convey explicit instructions to the Pharmacist/dispenser related to this medication order.



Usage Note: If the PMS solution is unable to display the entire instructions, then it is expected that the current solution has a fail-over process and will create a printout of the prescription.



Conformance Rule: PMS solution must be able to print out the entire prescription with ALL dispensing instructions included on the printout. Minimum data elements can be based on the eFax model



Conformance Rule: When 'compliance pack' is indicated on the prescription within the EMR, populate the pharmacist instruction/dispenser instructions with 'COMPLIANCE PACK REQUESTED'



Usage Note: In the case where the prescriber indicates the concept of ‘do not adapt’ (meaning that the pharmacist should not alter the prescription based on the patient's weight as an example), this direction to the pharmacist should be conveyed in human language in this field.



Conformance Rule: If a prescriber wishes to indicate that there is no substitution it must be included as part of the pharmacy instructions.



Conformance Rule: LU Codes must be clearly conveyed as part of the Pharmacists Instructions. If vendors are programmitically mapping into this field, they should use a prefix of LU Code before the identifier.

..  extension
     (over25dur) 		0..1Medication Order - Over 25 DURDefinition:
Indicates that the total number of managed DURs associated with the prescription exceeds the reporting limit of 25


Comments:
Conformance Rule: Set value = true when there are more than 25 warnings returned in the EMR DUR system

..  extension
     (monitoredDrug) 		0..1Medication Order - Monitored DrugDefinition:
Allows prescribers to indicate that the prescription is for a 'Monitored Drug' (e.g. compound containing a narcotic product).


Comments:
Conformance Rule: The prescriber should have the ability to set this flag when the medication is a compound. The absence of this extension means (i.e. value=”false”) that this is not a monitored substance.



Usage Note: Provinces may require prescribers to enter this value when a compound contains a monitored substance (e.g. narcotic) to support Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (e.g. the Alberta Triplicate Prescription Program).

..  extension
     (noRenewals) 		0..1Medication Order - No Prescription RenewalsDefinition:
Indicates that the prescriber will not support renewals for this prescription


Comments:
Conformance Rule: The PMS should present a warning to the dispenser if they create a renewal request for a prescription that has this flag set to indicate 'no renewals'. The PMS should allow the renewal to be submitted along with an explanation as there may be exceptional circumstances.

Comments:
Usage Note: This is used as an additional pharmacy note that is unrelated to the dispensing instructions. Eg. Do not fill immediately, Patient is coming in on July 12th for Booster shot.



Conformance Rule: PMS Vendors MUST display this to the pharmacist as it may contain important information. There could be Patient Instructions in here, inadvertently due to current prescribing behaviours.

..  dosageInstruction 0..*BackboneElementDefinition:
Indicates how the medication is to be used by the patient.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: For EMRs that can support structured dosage instruction, this element must be populated when the prescriber specifies any of structured dosage information. Anything that is populated as part of the structured dosage information must also be part of the RENDERED_DOSAGE_INSTRUCTION element.



Usage Note: An Excel spreadsheet providing guidance on how to populate dosage instructions can be found under 'Scope and Usage'.



When the dose or rate is intended to change over the entire administration period, e.g. Tapering dose prescriptions, multiple instances of dosage instructions will need to be supplied to convey the different doses/rates. Another common example in institutional settings is 'titration' of an IV medication dose to maintain a specific stated hemodynamic value or range e.g. drug x to be administered to maintain AM (arterial mean) greater than 65.

An Extension

...  extension
       (sequence) 		1..1Medication Dosage Line SequenceDefinition:
Optional Extensions Element - found in all resources.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: This must match the positional sequence of the dosageInstruction repetition. I.e. The first dosageInstruction repetition must have a 'sequence' value of 1, the second a 'sequence' value of 2, etc.

...  extension
       (instructionRelationship) 		0..1Medication Order Dosage Instruction RelationshipDefinition:
Optional Extensions Element - found in all resources.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: As this will establish the relationship to the previous dosage lines (example: first and second dosage line, the second and thrid dosage line, etc.) this must be present for all dosage lines except for the FIRST dosage line.



Usage Note: ANDs are instructions lines that are done together and THENs are instructions that are sequential and are done following the previous line. ANDs and THENs can be used individually or mixed together depending on the specific instructions.



Example using just AND: Take 1 tablet every morning and 2 tablets every evening.



Example using just THEN: Take 1 tablet every morning for 1 week THEN take 2 tablets every morning for 1 week.



Example using both: Take 1 tablet every morning AND 2 tablets every evening for 1 week THEN take 2 tablets every morning AND 3 tablets every evening for 1 week.

...  text 0..1stringDefinition:
Free text dosage instructions can be used for cases where the instructions are too complex to code. The content of this attribute does not include the name or description of the medication. When coded instructions are present, the free text instructions may still be present for display to humans taking or administering the medication. It is expected that the text instructions will always be populated. If the dosage.timing attribute is also populated, then the dosage.text should reflect the same information as the timing.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: When providing multiple dosage lines can be expressed individually. All dosage lines (full text content) must be concatenated into MedicationOrder.extension(renderedDosageInstruction) as PMS will not be forced to support the receipt of individual lines.



Usage Note: This is a string composed of any available discrete MedicationOrder.dosageInstruction child elements such as timing, asNeeded[x], siteCodeableConcept, route, dose[x], rate[x], and maxDosePerPeriod for each repetition sequence line.



Example: Prednisone; variable dosage instruction, or concurrent instructions (1 pill morning and 1 pill before bed) or sequential dosages (1 pill for 2 days, then 2 pills).

...  additionalInstructions 0..1Shared Health CodeableConcept Text RequiredBinding: (unbound) (example): Codes identifying additional instructions such as "take with water" or "avoid operating heavy machinery".


Definition:
A concept that may be defined by a formal reference to a terminology or ontology or may be provided by text.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: When providing an additional instruction at the dosage line level (complex), this should be populated when appropriate.



Usage Note: It may be necessary for the EMR to parse instructions such as QHS (take at bedtime), into two data elements DOSAGE_TIMING_FREQUENCY = once a day and 'at bedtime' would be placed into this field.

....  text 1..1stringMax Length: 2500
Definition:
A human language representation of the concept as seen/selected/uttered by the user who entered the data and/or which represents the intended meaning of the user.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: This is the text used to convey the exact word that was displayed to the practitioner

...  timing 0..1TimingDefinition:
The timing schedule on how the patient is to take the medication. The timing schedules allows many different expressions to be expressed. For example: Every 8 hours, Three times a day, 1/2 an hour before breakfast for 10 days from 17 Oct 2017 to 27 Oct 2017


Comments:
Conformance Rule: For EMRs that can support structured dosage instruction, this must be populated if prescriber specifies any of structured timing information. Anything that is populated as part of the structured timing information must also be part of the RENDERED_DOSAGE_INSTRUCTION.



Usage Note: An Excel spreadsheet providing guidance on how to populate dosage instructions can be found under 'Scope and Usage'.

....  event 0..1dateTimeDefinition:
Identifies specific times when the event occurs.

....  repeat 0..1Elementtim-3: Either frequency or when can exist, not both
tim-1: if there's a duration, there needs to be duration units
tim-2: if there's a period, there needs to be period units
tim-9: If there's an offset, there must be a when
tim-6: If there's a periodMax, there must be a period
tim-8: If there's a countMax, there must be a count
tim-7: If there's a durationMax, there must be a duration
tim-4: duration SHALL be a non-negative value
Definition:
A set of rules that describe when the event should occur.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: If an EMR cannot send discrete elements in all cases for timing.repeat element, this is acceptable as long as RENDERED_DOSAGE_INSTRUCTION captures the timing.

.....  bounds[x] 0..1Period, Shared Health Duration, RangeDefinition:
boundsPeriod defines the start and/or end date of the period over which the specified instruction should take place for a given dosage line. For example, if the prescriber wants a patient to start taking the medication starting the day before surgery, and the surgery is scheduled for Feb 16th 2019, the start date within bounds period would be Feb 15 2019. The end date can be included if the prescriber wants the patient to stop medication after a certain number of days. In the example above lets say the prescriber wants to the patient to stop the medication after 10 days the end date would Feb 26 2019.



boundsDuration defines the amount of time that the patient should be taking the specified instruction for a given dosage line. As an example, a prescription may call for taking 1-2 pills per day for 10 days. The boundsDuration would be 10 days.



boundsRange defines a minimum and maximum amount of time that the patient should be taking the specified instruction for a given dosage line. As an example, a prescriber may indicate that a patient should apply a cream 2 times per day for a minimum of 10 days but if the rash persists, continue applying for up to 14 days. In this case the minimum for boundsRange would be 10 days and the maximum for boundsRange would be 14 days.

.....  count 0..1integerDefinition:
count defines how many time the dosing activities should be repeated across all periods. For example, if a prescriber wants a patient to take 1 pill morning and night every day for 10 days, the dose is 1 pill, the frequency is 2 per day, the period is one day, and the count is 20 doses (corresponding to 10 days times 2 doses per day).


Comments:
If you have both bounds and count, then this should be understood as within the bounds period, until count times happens.

.....  countMax 0..1integerDefinition:
countMax defines the max number of doses that should be taken across all periods within a dosage line. countMax is only used when the count is expressed as a range of values. For example, if a prescriber wants a patient to take a dose of 2 pills per day for 7-10 days, the dose is 2 pills, the frequency is 1 dose per day, the period is 1 days, the count is 7 doses, and the countMax is 10 doses.

.....  duration 0..1decimalDefinition:
duration defines the amount of time it takes to provide a SINGLE dose of a medication to a patient. For most medications, duration is not relevant. However, one example that uses duration would be the application of a patch. The prescriber may instruct the patient to apply a patch for 10 hours each day for 10 days. In this case, the dose would be 1 patch, the duration would be 10 hours, the period would be 1 day, and the count would be 10 doses.


Comments:
For some events the duration is part of the definition of the event (e.g. IV infusions, where the duration is implicit in the specified quantity and rate). For others, it's part of the timing specification (e.g. exercise).

.....  durationMax 0..1decimalDefinition:
durationMax defines the maximum amount of time CAN/SHOULD take to provide a SINGLE dose of a medication to a patient. durationMax implies the usage of a range of values for the duration. For most medications, duration and durationMax is not relevant. However, one example that uses duration and durationMax would be the application of a patch for a range of time each day. The prescriber may instruct the patient to apply a patch for 10-12 hours each day for 10 days. In this case, the dose would be 1 patch, the duration would be 10 hours, the durationMax would be 12 hours, the period would be 1 day, and the count would be 10 doses.


Comments:
For some events the duration is part of the definition of the event (e.g. IV infusions, where the duration is implicit in the specified quantity and rate). For others, it's part of the timing specification (e.g. exercise).

.....  durationUnit 0..1codeBinding: x_TimeUnitsOfMeasure (20230710) (required)
Definition:
The units of time for the duration, in UCUM units.

.....  frequency 0..1integerDefinition:
frequency defines the number of times to apply a single dose of a medication within a particular period. For example, the prescriber may instruct the patient to take 1 tablet 3 times per day for 10 days. In this cases, the dose would be 1 tablet, the frequency would be 3 times, the period would be 1 day, and the count would be 30 doses.

.....  frequencyMax 0..1integerDefinition:
frequencyMax defines the maximum number of times to apply a single dose of a medication within a particular period. Using frequencyMax implies that the frequency is a range of values. For example, the prescriber may instruct the patient to take 1 tablet 3-4 times per day for 10 days. In this cases, the dose would be 1 tablet, the frequency would be 3 times, the frequencyMax would be 4 times, the period would be 1 day, and the count would be 30 doses.

.....  period 0..1decimalDefinition:
The period defines the amount of time over which the frequency of doses should occur. For example, the prescriber may instruct the patient to take 1 tablet every day for 10 days. In this case, the period is 1 day.

.....  periodMax 0..1decimalDefinition:
The periodMax defines the maximum amount of time over which the frequency of doses should occur. For example, the prescriber may instruct the patient to apply one patch every 48 to 72 hours and leave the patch on for 12 hour and do this for 1 month. In this case, the dose would be one patch, the frequency would be 1, the duration would be 12 hours, the period would be 48 hours, the periodMax would be 72 hours, and the boundPeriod would be a start day of today and an end date of 2 months from now.

.....  periodUnit 0..1codeBinding: x_TimeUnitsOfMeasure (20230710) (required)
Definition:
The units of time for the period in UCUM units.

...  asNeeded[x] 0..1boolean, CodeableConceptBinding: (unbound) (example): A coded concept identifying the precondition that should be met or evaluated prior to consuming or administering a medication dose. For example "pain", "30 minutes prior to sexual intercourse", "on flare-up" etc.


Definition:
Indicates whether the Medication is only taken when needed within a specific dosing schedule (Boolean option), or it indicates the precondition for taking the Medication (CodeableConcept).


Comments:
Conformance Rule: This is ONLY populated when the medication is prescribed on an as needed (i.e. PRN) basis.



Conformance Rule: Set value = true



Conformance Rule: When this is specified, it is not acceptable to express the quantity exclusively as a duration/DAYS_SUPPLY. The DOSAGE_QUANTITY must be provided.



The CodeableConcept should not be used at this time. If it is present, treat it as though the boolean value is set to true.

Identifies the speed with which the medication was or will be introduced into the patient. Typically the rate for an infusion e.g. 100 ml per 1 hour or 100 ml/hr. May also be expressed as a rate per unit of time e.g. 500 ml per 2 hours. Currently we do not specify a default of '1' in the denominator, but this is being discussed. Other examples: 200 mcg/min or 200 mcg/1 minute; 1 liter/8 hours.


Comments:
It is possible to supply both a rate and a doseQuantity to provide full details about how the medication is to be administered and supplied. If the rate is intended to change over time, depending on local rules/regulations, each change should be captured as a new version of the MedicationOrder with an updated rate, or captured with a new MedicationOrder with the new rate.

If true, indicates that the prescription is eligible for life.

...  extension
       (dispenseInterval) 		0..1Medication Order Dispense IntervalDefinition:
Indicates the minimum period of time that must pass between dispensing events as recorded against the dispense or prescription.


Comments:
Example: A prescriber instructs a patient to take 3 Tylenol 3 tablets every day as needed for pain for 90 days. However, the prescriber does not wish the patient to have more than 30 days supply at any given time so the prescriber instructs the pharmacist that the dispenseInterval is 30 days. The pharmacist then does 3 partial fills of 90 tablets (or 30 days supply) over the 90 day period.

...  extension

Optional Extensions Element - found in all resources.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: If eligible for trial, this must be set to 'true' and presented to the Pharmacist.



Conformance Rule: This is ONLY populated if it is for trial, else it is assumed not to be eligble.



Note: Prescribers may include this information in notes.

...  extension
       (firstFillInstructions) 		0..1Medication Order Dispense First Fill Instructionsp-mr2: At least one of first fill quantity or first fill expected days supply must be specified
Definition:
Optional Extensions Element - found in all resources.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: If this is supported within the EMR as a discrete data element, this must be populated. (e.g. this could map to 'Must be filled within')



Conformance Rule: First fill is only populated if required; if not populated, the general dispenseRequest instructions apply to all fills. You only specify an initial fill quantity if you have refills.



Usage Note: There are times when a patient's drug plan limits what can be dispensed (i.e. 7 days initially as a trial). In this situation, the patient is informed that their drug plan only pays for 7 days. The pharmacist will ask the patient to sign the Rx that they have been informed are ok with changing the quantity to 7 days and then dispense the 7 days. The patient's file is updated to note that 7 days was dispensed as a trial period. After the initial 7 days, the patient will still have 353 tablets to be used. (90 tabs x 4 authorized fills = 360 tabs - 7 tabs dispensed as trial.

...  extension
       (maxDispense) 		0..1Medication Order Max DispenseDefinition:
Identifies the maximum quantity authorized to be dispensed at one time.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: If this is supported within the EMR as a discrete data element, this must be populated.



Example: A prescriber instructs a patient to take 3 Tylenol 3 tablets every day as needed for pain for 90 days. However, the prescriber does not wish the patient to have more than 30 days supply at any given time so the prescriber instructs the pharmacist that the maxDispense is 90 tablets. The pharmacist then does 3 partial fills of 90 tablets (or 30 days supply) over the 90 day period.

...  extension
       (totalPrescribedQuantity) 		0..1Medication Order Total Prescribed QuantityDefinition:
Optional Extensions Element - found in all resources.

       (totalDaysSupply) 		0..1Medication Order Total Prescribed Days SupplyDefinition:
Optional Extensions Element - found in all resources.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: Must be populated when the Total Days Supply is entered by the user or when the Total Days Supply can be calculated by the system.



Conformance Rule: Code must be 'd' and system must be 'http://unitsofmeasure.org'.

...  validityPeriod 1..1PeriodDefinition:
This indicates the validity period of a prescription


Comments:
Usage Note: The validity period of the prescription refers to when the prescription can be filled by the pharmacy and is not the same as the administration period for which the patient needs to take the medication. Most times the validity start date of the prescription is the same as when the prescription was written. The validity start date can be future dated for prescriptions that need to be dispensed starting on a specific day.

....  start 1..1dateTimeDefinition:
The start of the period. The boundary is inclusive.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: Must be either equal to or later then the MedicationOrder.dateWritten element when sending prescriptions when integrating with the Alberta PIN system.



Conformance Rule: Must be either a full date (i.e. yyyy-mm-dd) or a full date and time with timezone (i.e. yyyy-mm-ddTHH:mm:ss.SSS-ZZZZZ).



Note: Vendors should refer to the functional specifications for the rules on how to populate this value as there as some differences based on jurisdiction.

....  end 0..1dateTimeDefinition:
The end of the period. If the end of the period is missing, it means that the period is ongoing. The start may be in the past, and the end date in the future, which means that period is expected/planned to end at that time.


Comments:
Usage Note: The validity period end date (MedicationOrder.dispenseRequest.validityPeriod.end) will be used when specifying the end of validity as a date. The end of validity (extension: Medication Order End of Validity) element will be used when specifying the end of validity as a length/duration of time (i.e. 18 months).



Note: Vendors should refer to the functional specifications for the rules on how to populate this value as there as some differences based on province.

...  numberOfRepeatsAllowed 0..1positiveIntDefinition:
An integer indicating the number of additional times (aka refills or repeats) the patient can receive the prescribed medication. Usage Notes: This integer does NOT include the original order dispense. This means that if an order indicates dispense 30 tablets plus "3 repeats", then the order can be dispensed a total of 4 times and the patient can receive a total of 120 tablets.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: This must be populated when the number of repeats is 1 or more. As this field only allows a positive integer, this is not populated if there are no refills allowed.



Guidance: For narcotics, if this is incorrectly populated, the PMS could choose not to reject the message; rather they can adjust for the dispense.

..  priorPrescription 0..1Reference(PrescribeIT® Prescription) {r}Definition:
A link to a resource representing an earlier order or prescription that this order supersedes.


Comments:
When present the system element will be an OID of the form [Vendor root].[Application instance node].2 expressed as a uri (e.g. urn:oid:1.2.3.4). The branch, “.2” is appended to create a unique namespace for the Medication order PLAC Identifier. The value element will be the unique medication order or prescription number of the order that was used to create this new order. Note that the system value must refer to the namespace of the system that created the original order, which may not always be the system performing the renewal.



Conformance Rules:



In the context of Task e110: This is not applicable for new prescriptions



In the context of Task e120: This is mandatory and MUST be populated with the EMR generated unique identifier of the medication used as the basis of the renewal prescription (this could be for a previous medication that was a non eRx or an eRx). Its purpose is to identify the previous medication order that drove the creation of this Renewal Fill Request. Note: This identifier may not be recognized by the PMS receiving this as it could have been a paper prescription or an ePrescription that was originally sent to another pharmacy.



In the context of Task e180: The prior prescription is mandatory for all order that are renewals, and must be populated in the same way as the e120. It is not required or applicable for new prescriptions.



In the context of Tasks e140, p160, and p170: This is not required but may be provided.



In the context Tasks e162 and e163: This is mandatory and MUST be populated in the same way as the e120 or with the subject MedicationOrder.identifier as specified in the p160 being responded to.



In the context of Tasks e161 and e164: This is not required but may be provided.



In the context of Task p190: This is not required but may be provided. This will reference a previous prescription if the prescription being communicated is a continuation of an existing therapy.

This structure is derived from MedicationOrder

NameCard.TypeConstraints and Usage
.  MedicationOrder 0..*MedicationOrderover25dur-true: IF over25dur = TRUE, total number of detectedissue must be 25
Definition:
An order for both supply of the medication and the instructions for administration of the medication to a patient. The resource is called "MedicationOrder" rather than "MedicationPrescription" to generalize the use across inpatient and outpatient settings as well as for care plans, etc.


Comments:
For Task p190-m - Pharmacist Prescribe, this conveys the medication order.

..  id 1..1idDefinition:
The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.


Comments:
Usage Note: This will usually be a GUID and is assigned by the sending application.

..  contained 1..1ResourceDefinition:
These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: This will be used to contain the Medication resource. No other resources should be 'contained'.

..  extension 0..*ExtensionSlice: Unordered, Open by value:url
Definition:
An Extension

..  extension
     (category) 		0..1Medication Order CategoryDefinition:
Sub-categorizes medication prescriptions into drugs, devices, compounds, etc. May be used to apply sub-type-specific constraints


Comments:
Conformance Rule: If no appropriate code exists, provide details using the 'text' component.

..  extension
     (prescribeReason) 		0..1Medication Order Prescribe ReasonDefinition:
Provides a textual description to convey any relevant reasons/rational related to the why the pharmacist’s created the prescription. 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.


Comments:
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.

..  extension
     (renderedDosageInstruction) 		1..1Medication Rendered Dosage InstructionDefinition:
This represents the complete instruction on how the medication is to be taken by the patient as entered by the pharmacy on the dispense or prescription.


Comments:
Usage Note: This will be populated by the PMS and will reflect the directions as presented to the patient on the label. The rendered dosage instruction will contain all dosage instructions such as dosage quantity, dosage unit, frequency, frequency period administration start/end date, route etc. as well as any additional instructions (e.g. take with food, starting one day before dental appointment) that are provided to the patient on the label.



Conformance Rule: This field must contain all the dosage information assembled into one field, this includes any overflow or supplemental directions that do not get included on the label as they are too long but are still are provided to the patient. The dosage information must be in a clear readable format, meaning that codes should not be used (e.g. 'days' should be used instead of 'd', 'oral' should be used instead of 'PO') unless this is how it is presented on the patients label.

..  extension
     (protocol) 		0..10Medication Order ProtocolDefinition:
Identifies the Protocol, Order set, Guideline or other definition that guided the creation of this prescription


Comments:
FUTURE USE ONLY

..  extension
     (treatmentType) 		0..1Medication Order Treatment TypeDefinition:
Identifies whether this drug is for acute or chronic use


Comments:
Conformance Rule: Must be populated if known

..  extension
     (supportingInformation) 		0..*Medication Order Supporting InformationDefinition:
Additional information that relevant (e.g. observations, allergies, etc.)


Comments:
Conformance Rule: Cardinality must be 0..1 for Shared Health List-Allergies and 0..2 for Shared Health Pharmacy-related Observation (i.e. 1 for height and 1 for weight) as per bundle



Conformance Rule: When sending this is the current list of allergies and observation for the patient from the sending system and should not include or replay back any information that is received in an incoming message.



Conformance Rule: Only 1 allergy list, 1 weight and 1 height observation can be sent per bundle. If different values need to be sent that are specific to one medication order that must be sent as part of the pharmacist instructions or note data elements instead.



Usage Note: See the functional specifications document for further requirements related to sending the allergy and observations information.



Usage Note: The URL for this extension does not refer to an existing web-page as is a pre-adoption extension. Refer to the Shared Health implementation Guide for more information.

..  extension
     (detectedIssue) 		0..25Request-related Detected IssuesDefinition:
A set of managed and relevant detected issues that should be transmitted along with a prescription or order to provide context during the execution of that order.


Comments:
Usage Note: This is a reference to the resource which is used to convey Managed Detected Issues (DUR)

..  extension
     (pharmacyInstructions) 		0..1Request Dispenser InstructionsDefinition:
Provides additional instructions from the prescriber to the pharmacy or other dispenser


Comments:
Usage Note: To convey explicit instructions to the Pharmacist/dispenser related to this medication order.



Usage Note: If the PMS solution is unable to display the entire instructions, then it is expected that the current solution has a fail-over process and will create a printout of the prescription.



Conformance Rule: PMS solution must be able to print out the entire prescription with ALL dispensing instructions included on the printout. Minimum data elements can be based on the eFax model



Conformance Rule: When 'compliance pack' is indicated on the prescription within the EMR, populate the pharmacist instruction/dispenser instructions with 'COMPLIANCE PACK REQUESTED'



Usage Note: In the case where the prescriber indicates the concept of ‘do not adapt’ (meaning that the pharmacist should not alter the prescription based on the patient's weight as an example), this direction to the pharmacist should be conveyed in human language in this field.



Conformance Rule: If a prescriber wishes to indicate that there is no substitution it must be included as part of the pharmacy instructions.



Conformance Rule: LU Codes must be clearly conveyed as part of the Pharmacists Instructions. If vendors are programmitically mapping into this field, they should use a prefix of LU Code before the identifier.

..  extension
     (over25dur) 		0..1Medication Order - Over 25 DURDefinition:
Indicates that the total number of managed DURs associated with the prescription exceeds the reporting limit of 25


Comments:
Conformance Rule: Set value = true when there are more than 25 warnings returned in the EMR DUR system

..  extension
     (monitoredDrug) 		0..1Medication Order - Monitored DrugDefinition:
Allows prescribers to indicate that the prescription is for a 'Monitored Drug' (e.g. compound containing a narcotic product).


Comments:
Conformance Rule: The prescriber should have the ability to set this flag when the medication is a compound. The absence of this extension means (i.e. value=”false”) that this is not a monitored substance.



Usage Note: Provinces may require prescribers to enter this value when a compound contains a monitored substance (e.g. narcotic) to support Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (e.g. the Alberta Triplicate Prescription Program).

..  extension
     (noRenewals) 		0..1Medication Order - No Prescription RenewalsDefinition:
Indicates that the prescriber will not support renewals for this prescription


Comments:
Conformance Rule: The PMS should present a warning to the dispenser if they create a renewal request for a prescription that has this flag set to indicate 'no renewals'. The PMS should allow the renewal to be submitted along with an explanation as there may be exceptional circumstances.

..  identifier 1..2Shared Health IdentifierSlice: Unordered, Open by pattern:type
Definition:
A technical identifier - identifies some entity uniquely and unambiguously.


Comments:
These are the identifiers assigned by the PMS and, in some cases, by the DIS.

Usage Note: This is used as an additional pharmacy note that is unrelated to the dispensing instructions. Eg. Do not fill immediately, Patient is coming in on July 12th for Booster shot.



Conformance Rule: PMS Vendors MUST display this to the pharmacist as it may contain important information. There could be Patient Instructions in here, inadvertently due to current prescribing behaviours.

..  dosageInstruction 0..*BackboneElementDefinition:
Indicates how the medication is to be used by the patient.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: For EMRs that can support structured dosage instruction, this element must be populated when the prescriber specifies any of structured dosage information. Anything that is populated as part of the structured dosage information must also be part of the RENDERED_DOSAGE_INSTRUCTION element.



Usage Note: An Excel spreadsheet providing guidance on how to populate dosage instructions can be found under 'Scope and Usage'.



When the dose or rate is intended to change over the entire administration period, e.g. Tapering dose prescriptions, multiple instances of dosage instructions will need to be supplied to convey the different doses/rates. Another common example in institutional settings is 'titration' of an IV medication dose to maintain a specific stated hemodynamic value or range e.g. drug x to be administered to maintain AM (arterial mean) greater than 65.

...  extension
       (instructionRelationship) 		0..1Medication Order Dosage Instruction RelationshipDefinition:
Optional Extensions Element - found in all resources.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: As this will establish the relationship to the previous dosage lines (example: first and second dosage line, the second and thrid dosage line, etc.) this must be present for all dosage lines except for the FIRST dosage line.



Usage Note: ANDs are instructions lines that are done together and THENs are instructions that are sequential and are done following the previous line. ANDs and THENs can be used individually or mixed together depending on the specific instructions.



Example using just AND: Take 1 tablet every morning and 2 tablets every evening.



Example using just THEN: Take 1 tablet every morning for 1 week THEN take 2 tablets every morning for 1 week.



Example using both: Take 1 tablet every morning AND 2 tablets every evening for 1 week THEN take 2 tablets every morning AND 3 tablets every evening for 1 week.

...  text 0..1stringDefinition:
Free text dosage instructions can be used for cases where the instructions are too complex to code. The content of this attribute does not include the name or description of the medication. When coded instructions are present, the free text instructions may still be present for display to humans taking or administering the medication. It is expected that the text instructions will always be populated. If the dosage.timing attribute is also populated, then the dosage.text should reflect the same information as the timing.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: When providing multiple dosage lines can be expressed individually. All dosage lines (full text content) must be concatenated into MedicationOrder.extension(renderedDosageInstruction) as PMS will not be forced to support the receipt of individual lines.



Usage Note: This is a string composed of any available discrete MedicationOrder.dosageInstruction child elements such as timing, asNeeded[x], siteCodeableConcept, route, dose[x], rate[x], and maxDosePerPeriod for each repetition sequence line.



Example: Prednisone; variable dosage instruction, or concurrent instructions (1 pill morning and 1 pill before bed) or sequential dosages (1 pill for 2 days, then 2 pills).

...  additionalInstructions 0..1Shared Health CodeableConcept Text RequiredBinding: (unbound) (example): Codes identifying additional instructions such as "take with water" or "avoid operating heavy machinery".


Definition:
A concept that may be defined by a formal reference to a terminology or ontology or may be provided by text.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: When providing an additional instruction at the dosage line level (complex), this should be populated when appropriate.



Usage Note: It may be necessary for the EMR to parse instructions such as QHS (take at bedtime), into two data elements DOSAGE_TIMING_FREQUENCY = once a day and 'at bedtime' would be placed into this field.

....  text 1..1stringMax Length: 2500
Definition:
A human language representation of the concept as seen/selected/uttered by the user who entered the data and/or which represents the intended meaning of the user.


Comments:

...  timing 0..1TimingDefinition:
The timing schedule on how the patient is to take the medication. The timing schedules allows many different expressions to be expressed. For example: Every 8 hours, Three times a day, 1/2 an hour before breakfast for 10 days from 17 Oct 2017 to 27 Oct 2017


Comments:
Conformance Rule: For EMRs that can support structured dosage instruction, this must be populated if prescriber specifies any of structured timing information. Anything that is populated as part of the structured timing information must also be part of the RENDERED_DOSAGE_INSTRUCTION.



Usage Note: An Excel spreadsheet providing guidance on how to populate dosage instructions can be found under 'Scope and Usage'.

....  event 0..1dateTimeDefinition:
Identifies specific times when the event occurs.

....  repeat 0..1Elementtim-3: Either frequency or when can exist, not both
tim-1: if there's a duration, there needs to be duration units
tim-2: if there's a period, there needs to be period units
tim-9: If there's an offset, there must be a when
tim-6: If there's a periodMax, there must be a period
tim-8: If there's a countMax, there must be a count
tim-7: If there's a durationMax, there must be a duration
tim-4: duration SHALL be a non-negative value
Definition:
A set of rules that describe when the event should occur.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: If an EMR cannot send discrete elements in all cases for timing.repeat element, this is acceptable as long as RENDERED_DOSAGE_INSTRUCTION captures the timing.

.....  bounds[x] 0..1Period, Shared Health Duration, RangeDefinition:
boundsPeriod defines the start and/or end date of the period over which the specified instruction should take place for a given dosage line. For example, if the prescriber wants a patient to start taking the medication starting the day before surgery, and the surgery is scheduled for Feb 16th 2019, the start date within bounds period would be Feb 15 2019. The end date can be included if the prescriber wants the patient to stop medication after a certain number of days. In the example above lets say the prescriber wants to the patient to stop the medication after 10 days the end date would Feb 26 2019.



boundsDuration defines the amount of time that the patient should be taking the specified instruction for a given dosage line. As an example, a prescription may call for taking 1-2 pills per day for 10 days. The boundsDuration would be 10 days.



boundsRange defines a minimum and maximum amount of time that the patient should be taking the specified instruction for a given dosage line. As an example, a prescriber may indicate that a patient should apply a cream 2 times per day for a minimum of 10 days but if the rash persists, continue applying for up to 14 days. In this case the minimum for boundsRange would be 10 days and the maximum for boundsRange would be 14 days.

.....  count 0..1integerDefinition:
count defines how many time the dosing activities should be repeated across all periods. For example, if a prescriber wants a patient to take 1 pill morning and night every day for 10 days, the dose is 1 pill, the frequency is 2 per day, the period is one day, and the count is 20 doses (corresponding to 10 days times 2 doses per day).


Comments:
If you have both bounds and count, then this should be understood as within the bounds period, until count times happens.

.....  countMax 0..1integerDefinition:
countMax defines the max number of doses that should be taken across all periods within a dosage line. countMax is only used when the count is expressed as a range of values. For example, if a prescriber wants a patient to take a dose of 2 pills per day for 7-10 days, the dose is 2 pills, the frequency is 1 dose per day, the period is 1 days, the count is 7 doses, and the countMax is 10 doses.

.....  duration 0..1decimalDefinition:
duration defines the amount of time it takes to provide a SINGLE dose of a medication to a patient. For most medications, duration is not relevant. However, one example that uses duration would be the application of a patch. The prescriber may instruct the patient to apply a patch for 10 hours each day for 10 days. In this case, the dose would be 1 patch, the duration would be 10 hours, the period would be 1 day, and the count would be 10 doses.


Comments:
For some events the duration is part of the definition of the event (e.g. IV infusions, where the duration is implicit in the specified quantity and rate). For others, it's part of the timing specification (e.g. exercise).

.....  durationMax 0..1decimalDefinition:
durationMax defines the maximum amount of time CAN/SHOULD take to provide a SINGLE dose of a medication to a patient. durationMax implies the usage of a range of values for the duration. For most medications, duration and durationMax is not relevant. However, one example that uses duration and durationMax would be the application of a patch for a range of time each day. The prescriber may instruct the patient to apply a patch for 10-12 hours each day for 10 days. In this case, the dose would be 1 patch, the duration would be 10 hours, the durationMax would be 12 hours, the period would be 1 day, and the count would be 10 doses.


Comments:
For some events the duration is part of the definition of the event (e.g. IV infusions, where the duration is implicit in the specified quantity and rate). For others, it's part of the timing specification (e.g. exercise).

.....  durationUnit 0..1codeBinding: x_TimeUnitsOfMeasure (20230710) (required)
Definition:
The units of time for the duration, in UCUM units.

.....  frequency 0..1integerDefinition:
frequency defines the number of times to apply a single dose of a medication within a particular period. For example, the prescriber may instruct the patient to take 1 tablet 3 times per day for 10 days. In this cases, the dose would be 1 tablet, the frequency would be 3 times, the period would be 1 day, and the count would be 30 doses.

.....  frequencyMax 0..1integerDefinition:
frequencyMax defines the maximum number of times to apply a single dose of a medication within a particular period. Using frequencyMax implies that the frequency is a range of values. For example, the prescriber may instruct the patient to take 1 tablet 3-4 times per day for 10 days. In this cases, the dose would be 1 tablet, the frequency would be 3 times, the frequencyMax would be 4 times, the period would be 1 day, and the count would be 30 doses.

.....  period 0..1decimalDefinition:
The period defines the amount of time over which the frequency of doses should occur. For example, the prescriber may instruct the patient to take 1 tablet every day for 10 days. In this case, the period is 1 day.

.....  periodMax 0..1decimalDefinition:
The periodMax defines the maximum amount of time over which the frequency of doses should occur. For example, the prescriber may instruct the patient to apply one patch every 48 to 72 hours and leave the patch on for 12 hour and do this for 1 month. In this case, the dose would be one patch, the frequency would be 1, the duration would be 12 hours, the period would be 48 hours, the periodMax would be 72 hours, and the boundPeriod would be a start day of today and an end date of 2 months from now.

.....  periodUnit 0..1codeBinding: x_TimeUnitsOfMeasure (20230710) (required)

...  asNeeded[x] 0..1boolean, CodeableConceptBinding: (unbound) (example): A coded concept identifying the precondition that should be met or evaluated prior to consuming or administering a medication dose. For example "pain", "30 minutes prior to sexual intercourse", "on flare-up" etc.


Definition:
Indicates whether the Medication is only taken when needed within a specific dosing schedule (Boolean option), or it indicates the precondition for taking the Medication (CodeableConcept).


Comments:
Conformance Rule: This is ONLY populated when the medication is prescribed on an as needed (i.e. PRN) basis.



Conformance Rule: Set value = true



Conformance Rule: When this is specified, it is not acceptable to express the quantity exclusively as a duration/DAYS_SUPPLY. The DOSAGE_QUANTITY must be provided.



The CodeableConcept should not be used at this time. If it is present, treat it as though the boolean value is set to true.

Comments:
Conformance Rule: Could be sent as part of the dosage instruction. OR for those EMRs that can support it, this should be specified.

...  rate[x]
       (rateRatio) 		0..1RatioDefinition:
Identifies the speed with which the medication was or will be introduced into the patient. Typically the rate for an infusion e.g. 100 ml per 1 hour or 100 ml/hr. May also be expressed as a rate per unit of time e.g. 500 ml per 2 hours. Currently we do not specify a default of '1' in the denominator, but this is being discussed. Other examples: 200 mcg/min or 200 mcg/1 minute; 1 liter/8 hours.


Comments:
It is possible to supply both a rate and a doseQuantity to provide full details about how the medication is to be administered and supplied. If the rate is intended to change over time, depending on local rules/regulations, each change should be captured as a new version of the MedicationOrder with an updated rate, or captured with a new MedicationOrder with the new rate.

Conformance Rule: If this is supported within the EMR as a discrete data element, this must be populated. (e.g. this could map to 'Must be filled within')



Conformance Rule: First fill is only populated if required; if not populated, the general dispenseRequest instructions apply to all fills. You only specify an initial fill quantity if you have refills.



Usage Note: There are times when a patient's drug plan limits what can be dispensed (i.e. 7 days initially as a trial). In this situation, the patient is informed that their drug plan only pays for 7 days. The pharmacist will ask the patient to sign the Rx that they have been informed are ok with changing the quantity to 7 days and then dispense the 7 days. The patient's file is updated to note that 7 days was dispensed as a trial period. After the initial 7 days, the patient will still have 353 tablets to be used. (90 tabs x 4 authorized fills = 360 tabs - 7 tabs dispensed as trial.

...  validityPeriod 1..1PeriodDefinition:
This indicates the validity period of a prescription


Comments:
Usage Note: The validity period of the prescription refers to when the prescription can be filled by the pharmacy and is not the same as the administration period for which the patient needs to take the medication. Most times the validity start date of the prescription is the same as when the prescription was written. The validity start date can be future dated for prescriptions that need to be dispensed starting on a specific day.

The end of the period. If the end of the period is missing, it means that the period is ongoing. The start may be in the past, and the end date in the future, which means that period is expected/planned to end at that time.


Comments:
Usage Note: The validity period end date (MedicationOrder.dispenseRequest.validityPeriod.end) will be used when specifying the end of validity as a date. The end of validity (extension: Medication Order End of Validity) element will be used when specifying the end of validity as a length/duration of time (i.e. 18 months).



Note: Vendors should refer to the functional specifications for the rules on how to populate this value as there as some differences based on province.

...  numberOfRepeatsAllowed 0..1positiveIntDefinition:
An integer indicating the number of additional times (aka refills or repeats) the patient can receive the prescribed medication. Usage Notes: This integer does NOT include the original order dispense. This means that if an order indicates dispense 30 tablets plus "3 repeats", then the order can be dispensed a total of 4 times and the patient can receive a total of 120 tablets.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: This must be populated when the number of repeats is 1 or more. As this field only allows a positive integer, this is not populated if there are no refills allowed.



Guidance: For narcotics, if this is incorrectly populated, the PMS could choose not to reject the message; rather they can adjust for the dispense.

Comments:
When present the system element will be an OID of the form [Vendor root].[Application instance node].2 expressed as a uri (e.g. urn:oid:1.2.3.4). The branch, “.2” is appended to create a unique namespace for the Medication order PLAC Identifier. The value element will be the unique medication order or prescription number of the order that was used to create this new order. Note that the system value must refer to the namespace of the system that created the original order, which may not always be the system performing the renewal.



Conformance Rules:



In the context of Task e110: This is not applicable for new prescriptions



In the context of Task e120: This is mandatory and MUST be populated with the EMR generated unique identifier of the medication used as the basis of the renewal prescription (this could be for a previous medication that was a non eRx or an eRx). Its purpose is to identify the previous medication order that drove the creation of this Renewal Fill Request.
