      Existing Wording: the recording of an intake medication list upon admission to hospital

      the summarization of a patient's "active medications" in a patient profile

      Proposed Wording: the recording of each medication in an intake medication list upon admission to hospital

      the representation of a medication as part of a summarization of a patient's "active medications" in a patient profile

      Comment:

      These examples are incorrect and confusing because they imply that the medication statement is used for a "list" or "summarization." However, the definition of medication statement is singular, i.e., for "a record of a medication."

      The proposed wording clarifies that the medication statement is for each individual medication that is part of a list, but that the medication statement is not a list of multiple medications.
