Action: post a question to the list serve to seek information - John will start the discussion for the question - discussion ongoing

• Tracker 9286 and 5827 - Review the need for status on a Medication Resource.
  • Setup a discussion with Lloyd re: modelling for these items before we make a decision
• Tracker 8783 - Medication Order Status resolution - review the 2 questions in the tracker item.
  • Consider along with 9296
• Tracker 8378 and 8276 - consider adding the reason for all statuses changes on MedicationPrescription.

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

• Status - there were no workflow meetings week of March 14th.
• Discussion of Pharmacy Workflow Mockup (John)
  • Pharmacy has been providing input into the workflow meeting discussions. One suggestion is that Pharmacy create a Pharmacy specific workflow case similar to the one that is being created for lab. This work has not started yet, but John will start working on this in April.

Template Work

• Kai to let Pharmacy know when ready for review

Next meeting
