This page describes how to create a prescription for a patient by a few examples.
Creating a prescription is done by the following operation.
POST [base]/MedicationRequest
A set of HTTP headers must be provided in order to create a prescription and the prescription itself is provided as a MedicationRequest in the HTTP body.
- HTTP headers: see HTTP Header and Authorization for more information about the various headers used by the National Medication List.
- HTTP body: see MedicationRequest for more information about the MedicationRequest resource.
Before a MedicationRequest is created, the user needs access to other information in the National Medication List. For more information on different scenarios and what information is required for each scenario, see Handbok för vård- och apotekstjänster: Verksamhetsområden.
Examples
HTTP Headers
See HTTP Header and Authorization for generic information about all HTTP headers used by the National Medication List including information about authorization, purpose and access type. The authorization token is translated to an authority role. The authority role together with the purpose and type of access is used by the National Medication List to determine what actions a user may perform and what information the user may access.
