      Baltimore Tue Q4 - the group believes some changes (name?) were made to MedicationRequest.category in Cologne. We need to confirm that.

      Even without considering the change, we do not agree that category should be changed to careSetting. We believe that care setting terms (e.g. long term care, hospice) can be included as terms used in category . It's an exensible value set so no change would be necessary.

      Existing Wording: MedicationRequest.category

      Short description = Type of medication usage

      Description/definition = Indicates the type of medication request (for example, where the medication is expected to be consumed or administered (i.e. inpatient or outpatient))

      Comment:

      The description/definition suggest that this element should be renamed to "careSetting"

      The "category" element should be used for differentiating whether the request is physician initiated, nurse initiated (which in some organisations required endorsement by a physician within 24-hours), nurse practitioner initiated, etc

      This suggestion applies to other medication related resources

      Summary:
