L'ingredient doit être un concept codé de Medicament réréfençant un système de codage à partir duquelle la description de cet ingredient-médicament peut être connue. Contraint l'application qui consomme la ressource à savoir ce que représente ce concept : une spécialité (DOLIPRANE 500 mg comprimé), une DC (PARACETAMOL), un MV (médicament virtuel, PARACETAMOL 500 mg comprimé) en interrogeant le référentiel ad hoc.

16. Medication.ingredient.strength
Definition

Specifies how many (or how much) of the item there are in this Medication. No use of element 'comparator' in the simpleQuantity definitions.

  1. Si l'item est une UCD, alors la quantité doit être un nombre de cette UCD (ex: 3 [ampoules] d'une UCD ampoule de 1 g de Chlorure de sodium).
  2. Si l'item est une unité de médicament en DC quantifiée en quantité (ex. PARACETAMOL 500 mg), alors la quantité doit être un nombre d'unité de ce médicament en DC qantifiée (ex: 2 [unités]).
  3. Si l'item est un médicament en DC quantifié en concentration (ex: PARACETAMOL 2,4%) , alors la quantité est exprimée en volume (ex: 5 mL).
  4. Si l'item est un médicament en DC non quantifié (ex: PARACETAMOL), alors la quantité est exprimée en quantité (ex: 225 mg).
ShortQuantity of ingredient present with UCUM unit
Comments

The Ratio datatype should only be used to express a relationship of two numbers if the relationship cannot be suitably expressed using a Quantity and a common unit. Where the denominator value is known to be fixed to "1", Quantity should be used instead of Ratio. No use of element 'comparator' in the simpleQuantity definitions.

Comments

Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element.

10. Medication.code
Definition

A code (or set of codes) that specify this medication, or a textual description if no code is available. Usage note: This could be a standard medication code such as a code from RxNorm, SNOMED CT, IDMP etc. It could also be a national or local formulary code, optionally with translations to other code systems.

ShortCodes that identify this medication
Comments

Depending on the context of use, the code that was actually selected by the user (prescriber, dispenser, etc.) will have the coding.userSelected set to true. As described in the coding datatype: "A coding may be marked as a "userSelected" if a user selected the particular coded value in a user interface (e.g. the user selects an item in a pick-list). If a user selected coding exists, it is the preferred choice for performing translations etc. Other codes can only be literal translations to alternative code systems, or codes at a lower level of granularity (e.g. a generic code for a vendor-specific primary one).

12. Medication.status
Definition

A code to indicate if the medication is in active use.

Shortactive | inactive | entered-in-error
Comments

This status is intended to identify if the medication in a local system is in active use within a drug database or inventory. For example, a pharmacy system may create a new drug file record for a compounded product "ABC Hospital Special Cream" with an active status. At some point in the future, it may be determined that the drug record was created with an error and the status is changed to "entered in error". This status is not intended to specify if a medication is part of a particular formulary. It is possible that the drug record may be referenced by multiple formularies or catalogues and each of those entries would have a separate status.

    Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied).

    Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

    Comments

    Depending on the context of use, the code that was actually selected by the user (prescriber, dispenser, etc.) will have the coding.userSelected set to true. As described in the coding datatype: "A coding may be marked as a "userSelected" if a user selected the particular coded value in a user interface (e.g. the user selects an item in a pick-list). If a user selected coding exists, it is the preferred choice for performing translations etc. Other codes can only be literal translations to alternative code systems, or codes at a lower level of granularity (e.g. a generic code for a vendor-specific primary one).

    Comments

    This status is intended to identify if the medication in a local system is in active use within a drug database or inventory. For example, a pharmacy system may create a new drug file record for a compounded product "ABC Hospital Special Cream" with an active status. At some point in the future, it may be determined that the drug record was created with an error and the status is changed to "entered in error". This status is not intended to specify if a medication is part of a particular formulary. It is possible that the drug record may be referenced by multiple formularies or catalogues and each of those entries would have a separate status.
