15105 - MedicationStatement - alignment with WorkFlow

• • notTaken was removed
  • need to consider how to reflect what the prescriber thinks should be taken by the patient - is this a medStatement or is this a MedRequest?
• Lloyd believes should be using a MedRequest with a "plan" status
• Choices:
  • take MedStatement back to the way it was
  • US Core - embrace List
  • follow Lloyd's suggestion to use MedRequest with "Plan" status
  • use status field to identify if a prescriber believes the patient should be on this med and uses taken element to identify if the patient is following the order and taking the medication - could previous do this before we aligned MedStatement with workflow
• March 5, 2018: - deferred until March 12, 2018
  • Ask Lloyd to join call - complete - he can't join on March 12. Need to provide an update to him
• March 12, 2018:
  • Lloyd believes that MedStatement should only be an indicator of whether the patient/provider says they are taking the medication
  • Options:
    • revert back to having "notTaken"(pre workflow harmonization)
    • provider instructions for medication - should use MedicationRequest - with intent element
    • implement List resources to get active medication list - not preferred
    • current resource with "not taken" as a status - not preferred
