ePMA Implementation Guidance for FHIR STU3

This guidance is under active development by NHS Digital and content may be added or updated on a regular basis.
Please note: This guidance has been superseded by the Implementation guide for digitial medicines, which contains up-to-date information.

Element: form

The element is not required for an MVP implementation.

Within the dm+d terminology, the VMP, AMP, VMPP and AMPP concepts include a coded form.

Where a medication is identified using a VTM concept and the prescriber wishes to qualify with a form then use this element.

Coded forms should be taken from either the dm+d or from the SNOMED-CT hierarchy as a descendant of the concept 736542009 Pharmaceutical dose form.
