IPS : Medication Summary - wording enhancement

    • Type: Change Request

    • Priority: Medium
    • International Patient Summary (FHIR)
    • STU3

    • Hide

      Propose revising the wording as follows:

      The medication summary section contains a description of the patient's medications relevant for the scope of the patient summary. The actual content could depend on the jurisdiction, it could report:

      • the currently active medications;
      • the current and past medications considered relevant by the authoring GP;
      • the patient prescriptions or dispensations automatically extracted by a regional or a national EHR.

      In all those cases however medications are documented in the Patient Summary as medication statements.

      The entries of this section must be one of the choices below:

      • an entry stating that the patient is known not to be under any relevant medication+;+
      • an entry stating that no information is available about the patient's potential medications;
      • one or more entries enumerating the patient's relevant medication (one entry per medication).

    • Enhancement
    • Non-substantive

      In the sentence below the construct either ; either ; or is not really proper english. The reader may misundestand the logic condition:

      This section requires either an entry indicating the subject is known not to be on any relevant medication+; either an entry+ indicating that no information is available about medications; +or entries +summarizing the subject's relevant medications.

      I propose to rephrase like this:

      The entries of this section must conform to exactly one of the exclusive choices below:

      • an entry stating that the patient is known not to be under any relevant medication+;+
      • an entry stating that no information is available about the patient's potential medications;
      • one or more entries enumerating the patient's relevant medication (one entry per medication).
