      Need guidance to make this change. To be clear, we want to have a cardinality of 0..* for both codableConcept and the other choice, the reference to the Condition resource.

      Duplicate of 9294

      Discussed in 3.14.2016 Pharmacy WG meeting - agree that cardinality should be expanded from "zero to 1" to "zero to * (many)"

      We are not addressing the sequence/priority of reasons.

    • Enhancement

      Cardinality of MedicationPrescription.Reason needs to be changed from 0..1 to 0..*

      There are many examples that require the 0..* change.

      One example is:

      A patient with history of hypertension has an episode of AMI.

      Beta-blocker is prescribed for several reasons, e.g.:

      Control BP

      Reduce MI size (early stage)

      Lower risk of post AMI cardiac death (continued long term)

      The reasons for this example are well documented in evidence-based medicine guidelines.
