Issues

1. Need to decide whether this gets merged with MedicationDispense. If not, need to define scope to explicitly exclude that (both scope & RIM mapping)
2. Need to expand the description a little bit. Is this only for "supply to patient" or does it include any transfer of material within healthcare? Can it include patient transport? If not, where is that handled?
3. Need relationships identified. (Particularly confused by ImagingStudy)
4. Should look at NCPDP, probably OpenEHR, jurisdictional specifications (e.g. Vision dispense for pan-Canadian claims)
