The following tracker items were resolved:

FHIR Tracker Items

• 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:
