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

• On 2/8 - reviewed Lee's categorizations
• Lee plans to continue to join our calls as we work through the list.
• John recommended we would through the list before Lee takes the list to the FHIR workgroup.
• 3/7 - continued to work through the list to determine what group should deal with each item (row).

FHIR Workflow Meetings Status DEFERRED
