Resource appropriateness

Vision Prescription is one of the core steps of use of Vision products, another being Dispensing (or Supply). In many settings the steps are performed by separate people, and are frequently recorded by separate software systems. Prescription records are a core part of knowing what products a patient is supposed to receive - having a standard format for this is essential. There is a well established set of attributes that are always required.

Expected implementations

This is a key resource expected by most Healthcare billing implementations where Health care products and services are provided.

Content sources

Existing normative V3 and V2 specifications, Canadian Specifications, X12

Resource Relationships
