Prescription Tracker API

Important: Work in progress.

User Storey: Svetlana's GP had to cancel a prescription they had sent to EPS. A pharmacy had already downloaded the prescription, so the cancel could not be actioned immediately. Rather implementing MESH for the Subsequent Cancellation response, the GP wishes to check the current status of the prescription on demand.

EPS Prescription Tracker is currently available in two forms:

EPS Prescription Tracker An application available on N3/HSCN.
EPS Prescription Tracker API An API available on N3/HSCN.

Retrieve Prescription API

Important: Work in progress. This page is for illustration of a concept

In EPS it is not currently possible to retrieve a prescription once it has been downloaded using Prescription Release. This API interaction will allow this and is an extension to the Prescription API It does this by supporting the _include and _revinclude parameters.

The returned FHIR Bundle will be of type searchset, not a message, the resources entries will be the same.

FHIR Exchange	API	FHIR Resource Profile
FHIR RESTful	GET /MedicationRequest?group-identifier=(prescription-order-reference)&_include=(includes)&_revinclude:iterate=MessageHeader.focus	NHSDigital-MedicationRequest
