Please note: This guidance has been superseded by the Implementation guide for digitial medicines, which contains up-to-date information.
Element: prescriptionType (extension)
It is recommended this element is optional for an MVP implementation.
Note: The value set for this STU3 extension aligns with the legacy HL7v3 PrescriptionTreatmentType vocabulary:
- acute
- repeat
- repeat dispensing
- delayed prescribing.
If UK Core R4 is extended to support this type of data then the extension name should ideally not be called prescriptionType as it confused with a different legacy HL7v3 vocabulary for prescriptionType which serves a different purpose
