      Existing Wording: 11.5 Medication Statement content description:

      "A MedicationStatement may indicate that the patient may be taking the medication now, or has taken the medication in the past or will be taking the medication in the future"

      Proposed Wording: Remove reference to: "taking the medication in the future"

      Comment:

      The MedicationStatement structure is not designed to support documenting and communicating medication to be taken in the future with adequate clarity

      Statement about future medication should be in Medication Plan or Care Plan

      Summary:

      Include texts to indicate that statement about future medication should be in Medication Plan or Care Plan
