      Comment:

      why not use the word medication order instead of medication prescription Prescriptions are most commonly thought of as the things you carry to pharmacy- think more generally (and also following the 20 year history of V2.

      Further, in many systems orders are orders and not segregated so completely. Order patterns often in clude drugs and tests. Should return to a common order profile with special sub segments
