      After a review of existing implementations, most allow for one indication but not all allow for many. When reviewing the actual data that is being collected, it is rare to get any indications. We have decided to keep the existing 0..1 and if someone needs 0..*, they can be done via an extension.

      *Comments
      It is not unusual for there to be multiple reasons for writing a prescription.

      C-CDA thru entryRelationship allows multiple indications.

      This was entered as change request # 3805.

      This example was shared with us: see http://www.rxlist.com/caduet-drug/indications-dosage.htm where taking Caduet is likely to be for two reasons: for high cholesterol (CAD) and as anti-hypertensive
