Medication Status - 'Entered in Error' CLOSED

• Discuss as group
• Was not able to identify "explanation" narrative as to why "entered in error" for medication resource is not supported.
• in the meantime the QA errors are addressed temporarily since Michele has inserted a placeholder.

Completed Action:  Need to confirm whether "status" is needed on Medication - answer - we are not going to add status on medication but instead as guidance to leverage extension for this purpose.

• Question posed to group on 2/22 call - Is 'Entered in Error' a valid status for a medication resource? No, this will be handled by an extension. Guidance will be provided. Michelle conveyed that this type of guidance can be listed under a "Best Practices" section.

 Action: Michelle will provide verbiage that will provide for example, how to convey active vs. inactive using an extension. Michelle will tie this change to a QA issue.

Verbiage provided by Michelle: “Medication does not have a status. If Medication was used to support a formulary use case, then an extension can be used to convey formulary statuses, such as active (e.g. the medication can be ordered) or inactive (e.g. the medication can be documented, but not ordered).”

Renaming MedicationOrder to MedicationRequest Discussion - DEFERRED

• From January 25 meeting: Lloyd shared the proposal to rename all request type resources to <resource>_Request. Seeking consistent name for all resources and term that encompasses larger swath of types of requests. An element beneath the tag instance would state the particular request, such as 'order'. This impacts the current Pharmacy Medication Order FHIR resource.

 Completed Action: Rx WG to discuss to determine if we agree or not. - agreed (with no vote) to comply with change but not needed to be made yet, per Lloyd

• Lloyd suggested that we hold off on making the change, if we decide to make the change. Wait for FHIR Infrastructure group to workout additional details before we make the changes. May have impact on how other data elements are name or included.
• Discussion: If we agree to the change, we'll need to review the description and other content for our resource to ensure that it accurately reflects the usage. This type of change will mean changes for implementers and it may not be as intuitive for implementers.
  • No decision to be made today. Will consider on a future call

 Action: to followup with Lloyd to find out status and/or next steps

FHIR Workflow Meetings Status

Action item:  Scott - find / asked for / create(?) a 1-pager explanation of what the business need and proposed solution.

• For statuses - what we have so far is correct - may need to remove "superseded" as a status - need to find a different way to represent a relationship between 2 orders

Action:  Melva to add change request to GForge

John provided update to workflow meeting activities: discussions have occurred about the status types. Today, the discussions focused the relationships between a request and a task. Not quite ready to test against the Rx use cases.
