| Description |
Record of medication being taken by a patient
A record of a medication that is being consumed by a patient. A MedicationStatement
may indicate that the patient may be taking the medication now, or has taken the medication
in the past or will be taking the medication in the future. The source of this information
can be the patient, significant other (such as a
family member or spouse), or a clinician. A common scenario where this information
is captured is during the history taking process during a patient visit or stay. The
medication information may come from e.g. the patient's memory, from a prescription
bottle, or from a list of medications the patient, clinician or other party maintains
The primary difference between a medication
statement and a medication administration is that the medication administration has
complete administration information and is based on actual administration information
from the person who administered the medication. A medication statement is often,
if not always, less specific. There is no required date/time when the medication was
administered, in fact we only know that a source
has reported the patient is taking this medication, where details such as time, quantity,
or rate or even medication product may be incomplete or missing or less precise. As
stated earlier, the medication statement information may come from the patient's memory,
from a prescription bottle or from a list of medications the patient, clinician or
other party maintains. Medication
administration is more formal and is not missing detailed information.

Logical id of this artifact
The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned,
this value never changes.

The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to
the server using a create operation. Bundles always have an id, though it is usually
a generated UUID.

A set of rules under which this content was created
A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed,
and which must be understood when processing the content.
|
| Source |
FHIR MedicationStatement.implicitRules |
| Comment |
Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set
of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long
term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready
to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible,
implementers and/or
specification writers should avoid using this element as much as possible.

Language of the resource content
The base language in which the resource is written.
|
| Source |
FHIR MedicationStatement.language |
| Comment |
Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such
as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies
to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language
of other presentations generated from the data in the resource Not all the content
has to be in the
base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative
automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div
element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between
xml:lang and the html lang attribute).

| Description |
Text summary of the resource, for human interpretation
A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource, and may be used
to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode
all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically
safe" for a human to just read the narrative.
Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative
to ensure clinical safety.

Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD
have a narrative.

Contained, inline Resources
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.
|
| Source |
FHIR MedicationStatement.contained |
| Comment |
This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification
is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again.

External identifier
External identifier - FHIR will generate its own internal identifiers (probably URLs)
which do not need to be explicitly managed by the resource. The identifier here is
one that would be used by another non-FHIR system - for example an automated medication
pump would provide a record each time it operated; an administration while the
patient was off the ward might be made with a different system and entered after the
event. Particularly important if these records have to be updated.

If only a code is specified, then it needs to be a code for a specific product. If
more information is required, then the use of the medication resource is recommended.
Note: do not use Medication.name to describe the medication this statement concerns.
When the only available information is a text description of the medication, Medication.code.text
should be
used.

| Description |
Technique used to administer medication
A coded value indicating the method by which the medication is intended to be or was
introduced into or on the body. This attribute will most often NOT be populated. It
is most commonly used for injections. For example, Slow Push, Deep IV.
|
| Source |
FHIR MedicationStatement.dosage.method |
| Comment |
One of the reasons this attribute is not used often, is that the method is often pre-coordinated
with the route and/or form of administration. This means the codes used in route or
form may pre-coordinate the method in the route code or the form code. The implementation
decision about what coding system to use for route or form code will determine how
frequently the method code will be populated e.g. if route or form code pre-coordinate
method code, then this attribute will not be populated often; if there is no pre-coordination
then method code may be used frequently.
