Element id

MedicationRequest.id

Short description

Logical id of this artifact

Definition

The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.

Comments

The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation.

Element id

MedicationRequest.implicitRules

Short description

A set of rules under which this content was created

Definition

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

Comments

Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

MedicationRequest.language

Short description

Language of the resource content

Definition

The base language in which the resource is written.

Comments

Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute).

Data type

Binding

Element id

MedicationRequest.text

Short description

Text summary of the resource, for human interpretation

Alternate names

narrative, html, xhtml, display

Definition

A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.

Comments

Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added later.

Contained, inline Resources

Alternate names

inline resources, anonymous resources, contained resources

Definition

These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.

Comments

This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags In their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels.

Additional content defined by implementations

Alternate names

extensions, user content

Definition

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

Comments

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

Extensions that cannot be ignored

Alternate names

extensions, user content

Definition

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.

Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

Requirements

Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

Description of identifier

Definition

A coded type for the identifier that can be used to determine which identifier to use for a specific purpose.

Requirements

Allows users to make use of identifiers when the identifier system is not known.

Comments

This element deals only with general categories of identifiers. It SHOULD not be used for codes that correspond 1..1 with the Identifier.system. Some identifiers may fall into multiple categories due to common usage. Where the system is known, a type is unnecessary because the type is always part of the system definition. However systems often need to handle identifiers where the system is not known. There is not a 1:1 relationship between type and system, since many different systems have the same type.

Comments

If the value is a full URI, then the system SHALL be urn:ietf:rfc:3986. The value's primary purpose is computational mapping. As a result, it may be normalized for comparison purposes (e.g. removing non-significant whitespace, dashes, etc.) A value formatted for human display can be conveyed using the Rendered Value extension. Identifier.value is to be treated as case sensitive unless knowledge of the Identifier.system allows the processer to be confident that non-case-sensitive processing is safe.

Definition

A code specifying the current state of the order. Generally, this will be active or completed state.

code	Definition
active	The prescription is 'actionable', but not all actions that are implied by it have occurred yet. It has not been dispensed or filled.
cancelled	The prescription is to be cancelled or it has been cancelled been withdrawn before any administrations have occurred. Prescriptions in the process of being cancelled will be regarded as active until all actions are complete.
stopped	Actions implied by the prescription are to be permanently halted, before all of the administrations occurred. This should not be used if the original order was entered in error
completed	All actions that are implied by the prescription have occurred.

Logical medicationRequest status transitions

This state transition diagram is an enhancement over the generic State Machine defined within the FHIR specification. It includes the status values associated with a medication request with transitions applicable to a UK implementation.

The version of the code system which was used when choosing this code.

However this cannot consistently be assured, and when the meaning is not guaranteed to be consistent, the version SHOULD be exchanged.

MedicationRequest.subject.reference

Short description

Literal reference, Relative, internal or absolute URL

Definition

A reference to a location at which the other resource is found. The reference may be a relative reference, in which case it is relative to the service base URL, or an absolute URL that resolves to the location where the resource is found. The reference may be version specific or not. If the reference is not to a FHIR RESTful server, then it should be assumed to be version specific. Internal fragment references (start with '#') refer to contained resources.

Comments

Using absolute URLs provides a stable scalable approach suitable for a cloud/web context, while using relative/logical references provides a flexible approach suitable for use when trading across closed eco-system boundaries. Absolute URLs do not need to point to a FHIR RESTful server, though this is the preferred approach. If the URL conforms to the structure "/[type]/[id]" then it should be assumed that the reference is to a FHIR RESTful server.

Short description

Type the reference refers to (e.g. "Patient")

Definition

The expected type of the target of the reference. If both Reference.type and Reference.reference are populated and Reference.reference is a FHIR URL, both SHALL be consistent.

The type is the Canonical URL of Resource Definition that is the type this reference refers to. References are URLs that are relative to http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/ e.g. "Patient" is a reference to http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Patient. Absolute URLs are only allowed for logical models (and can only be used in references in logical models, not resources).

Comments

This element is used to indicate the type of the target of the reference. This may be used which ever of the other elements are populated (or not). In some cases, the type of the target may be determined by inspection of the reference (e.g. a RESTful URL) or by resolving the target of the reference; if both the type and a reference is provided, the reference SHALL resolve to a resource of the same type as that specified.

Element id

MedicationRequest.subject.identifier

Short description

Logical reference, when literal reference is not known

Definition

An identifier for the target resource. This is used when there is no way to reference the other resource directly, either because the entity it represents is not available through a FHIR server, or because there is no way for the author of the resource to convert a known identifier to an actual location. There is no requirement that a Reference.identifier point to something that is actually exposed as a FHIR instance, but it SHALL point to a business concept that would be expected to be exposed as a FHIR instance, and that instance would need to be of a FHIR resource type allowed by the reference.

Comments

When an identifier is provided in place of a reference, any system processing the reference will only be able to resolve the identifier to a reference if it understands the business context in which the identifier is used. Sometimes this is global (e.g. a national identifier) but often it is not. For this reason, none of the useful mechanisms described for working with references (e.g. chaining, includes) are possible, nor should servers be expected to be able resolve the reference. Servers may accept an identifier based reference untouched, resolve it, and/or reject it - see CapabilityStatement.rest.resource.referencePolicy.

When both an identifier and a literal reference are provided, the literal reference is preferred. Applications processing the resource are allowed - but not required - to check that the identifier matches the literal reference

Applications converting a logical reference to a literal reference may choose to leave the logical reference present, or remove it.

Reference is intended to point to a structure that can potentially be expressed as a FHIR resource, though there is no need for it to exist as an actual FHIR resource instance - except in as much as an application wishes to actual find the target of the reference. The content referred to be the identifier must meet the logical constraints implied by any limitations on what resource types are permitted for the reference. For example, it would not be legitimate to send the identifier for a drug prescription if the type were Reference(Observation|DiagnosticReport). One of the use-cases for Reference.identifier is the situation where no FHIR representation exists (where the type is Reference (Any).

Include additional information (for example, patient height and weight) that supports the ordering of the medication.

Comments

References SHALL be a reference to an actual FHIR resource, and SHALL be resolveable (allowing for access control, temporary unavailability, etc.). Resolution can be either by retrieval from the URL, or, where applicable by resource type, by treating an absolute reference as a canonical URL and looking it up in a local registry/repository.

Definition

The extension numberOfRepeatsIssued should not be populated.

The meaning of numberOfRepeatsAllowed is the same as the dispensingRequest.numberOfRepeatsAllowed i.e.

An integer indicating the number of times, in addition to the original dispense, (aka refills or repeats) that the patient can receive the prescribed medication. Usage Notes: This integer does not include the original order dispense. This means that if an order indicates dispense 30 tablets plus "3 repeats", then the order can be dispensed a total of 4 times and the patient can receive a total of 120 tablets. A prescriber may explicitly say that zero refills are permitted after the initial dispense.

Short description

groupIdentifier (Short Form Prescription ID)

Definition

The purpose of the Short Form Prescription ID is to identify the prescription during its lifecycle within the Spine (i.e. prescribe, dispense & claim). The prescription UUID is retained to provide the link through to the Spine medication record within the PSIS and must be included as the first identifier within the prescription message. The format of the Short Form Prescription ID is as follows;

<RandomNumber>-<PracticeODSCode/ClinicODSCode>-<PracticeSequence/ClinicSequence><CheckDigit>

Where;

<RandomNumber> is a locally generated random number each time a Prescription ID is generated of length 6 hexadecimal characters.

<PracticeODSCode/ClinicODSCode> is the unique ODS code for the practice or clinic code (aka cost centre) as defined within the Spine SDS of length 6 characters. Where the prescriber ODS code is shorter than 6 characters it must be zero-padded up to six characters from the start of the ODS code, e.g. “0A1B2C”.

<PracticeSequence/ClinicSequence> is an incremental sequence number starting from 00000 that is reset after FFFFF back to zero of length 5 hexadecimal characters. For systems that support multiple practices or clinics, a sequence number per practice/clinic is required. This is to ensure uniqueness of prescriptions within the Spine EPS component during the prescription lifecycle.

<CheckDigit> is calculated on the entire ID using the ISO/IEC 7064:2003 MOD 37-2 standard. The check digit algorithm is identical to that using for EPS Release 1.

Note. Hyphens are always included to separate the ID into 3 blocks of 6 characters.

Note. The implementation of the MOD 37-2 standard uses a “+” character for char 36 opposed to a “*” character.

Requirements

Requests are linked either by a "basedOn" relationship (i.e. one request is fulfilling another) or by having a common requisition. Requests that are part of the same requisition are generally treated independently from the perspective of changing their state or maintaining them after initial creation.

MedicationRequest.note

Short description

Dispensing Note

Definition

Clinical information relating to a prescribed medication item that cannot be conveyed within dosage instructions is populated within note field.

Examples of dispensing notes are:

To explain changes in dosage, for example, “Dosage has been increased on advice of the hospital”.
"Tell patient to stop their statin whilst on this anitbiotic"
"hospital consultant has confirmed dual treatment"

One scenario where note must be populated is when the current prescribed medication item is the last authorised repeat of that medication within a repeat prescribing cycle. Appropriate text, such as “Last authorised repeat” must be included within the note to inform the dispenser and to allow the dispenser to communicate to the patient or patient representative. Note that for repeat dispensing, the ‘numberOfPrescriptionsIssued’ element also conveys this information.

"note": [
    {
      "text": "Tell patient to stop their statin whilst on this anitbiotic"
    }
  ],

Comments

For systems that do not have structured annotations, they can simply communicate a single annotation with no author or time. This element may need to be included in narrative because of the potential for modifying information. Annotations SHOULD NOT be used to communicate "modifying" information that could be computable. (This is a SHOULD because enforcing user behavior is nearly impossible).

Short description

How the medication is/was taken or should be taken

Definition

The content of the dosageInstruction should follow guidance in Digital Medicines Dosage.

dosageInstruction.text MUST be supplied and is a human readable version of the structured dose as would be printed on a paper prescription. The use of a generic default value, for example “Use as directed”, if a value is not entered, is not acceptable from a clinical perspective. The user must be asked to select a dosage instruction from a pick list, type by hand or have the system populate with a valid and clinically safe dosage instruction relevant to the prescribed medication or clinical circumstances.

As per BNF guidelines, the dosage must be presented to the user without abbreviation although it may be entered and stored within the PMR in an abbreviated form. Within HL7 messaging, the dosage instruction must be represented without abbreviation.

Comments

There are examples where a medication request may include the option of an oral dose or an Intravenous or Intramuscular dose. For example, "Ondansetron 8mg orally or IV twice a day as needed for nausea" or "Compazine® (prochlorperazine) 5-10mg PO or 25mg PR bid prn nausea or vomiting". In these cases, two medication requests would be created and should be grouped together via a parent RequestGroup resource, specifying selectionBehaviour="exactly-one". The decision on which dose and route of administration to use is based on the patient's condition at the time the dose is needed.

Definition

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.

Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

Element id

MedicationRequest.dosageInstruction.sequence

Short description

Multi-sequence dosage instructions.

Definition

A multi-sequence would be required where a dosage instruction changes over a given time schedule, where a dosage instruction includes optional follow-up doses or where a concurrent dosage instruction is required for the same medication at a different dose.

Examples below include Prednisolone to treat Bell’s palsy where a dose starts at 60 mg per day for a period of time then reduces by 10 mg per day. This would be described as a sequential dosage instruction. A concurrent dosage example is provided to describe a different dose in the morning to that at midday.

Sequential Instructions

Where the value of sequence is an incremental integer it defines a sequential instruction.

Concurrent Instructions

Where the same integer value of sequence is defines it means a concurrent instruction.

Requirements

If the sequence number of multiple Dosages is the same, then it is implied that the instructions are to be treated as concurrent. If the sequence number is different, then the Dosages are intended to be sequential.

<div class="nhsd-a-box nhsd-a-box--bg-light-blue nhsd-!t-margin-bottom-6 nhsd-t-body"> <strong>Recommendation</strong>: Use the <a href='DosetoTextTranslation'>translation algorithm</a> published within this guide to create a string from the coded Dosage elements. It is planned for this translation algorithm to be available as an API. </div>

For example;

<text value="1 tablet - every 6 hours - oral" />

Where additional dosage instructions need to be conveyed that cannot be described using any other element of the Dosage structure, then append these to the end of the translated dosage text.

For example, the instruction to “infuse as rapidly as possibly via intraperitoneal port” is not a coded term so cannot be shared as a additionalInstruction. It would neither be appropriate as a patientInstruction string.

For example;

<text value="{the dosage elements translated as text} - infuse as rapidly as possibly via intraperitoneal port" />

For example, the instruction “immediately following drug {X}”), where {X} is the name of a drug, is neither suitable as a additionalInstruction nor patientInstruction.

For example;

<text value="500 milligrams - once - oral - immediately following drug {X}" />

Requirements

Free text dosage instructions can be used for cases where the instructions are too complex to code. The content of this attribute does not include the name or description of the medication. When coded instructions are present, the free text instructions may still be present for display to humans taking or administering the medication. It is expected that the text instructions will always be populated. If the dosage.timing attribute is also populated, then the dosage.text should reflect the same information as the timing. Additional information about administration or preparation of the medication should be included as text.

When medication should be administered

Adding constraints, bounds or limits to a dosage instruction.

Requirements

The timing schedule for giving the medication to the patient. This data type allows many different expressions. For example: "Every 8 hours"; "Three times a day"; "1/2 an hour before breakfast for 10 days from 23-Dec 2011:"; "15 Oct 2013, 17 Oct 2013 and 1 Nov 2013". Sometimes, a rate can imply duration when expressed as total volume / duration (e.g. 500mL/2 hours implies a duration of 2 hours). However, when rate doesn't imply duration (e.g. 250mL/hour), then the timing.repeat.duration is needed to convey the infuse over time period.

A total count of the desired number of repetitions across the duration of the entire timing specification. If countMax is present, this element indicates the lower bound of the allowed range of count values.

Requirements

Repetitions may be limited by end time or total occurrences.

Comments

If you have both bounds and count, then this should be understood as within the bounds period, until count times happens.

Requirements

Some activities are not instantaneous and need to be maintained for a period of time.

Comments

For some events the duration is part of the definition of the event (e.g. IV infusions, where the duration is implicit in the specified quantity and rate). For others, it's part of the timing specification (e.g. exercise).

BID | TID | QID | AM | PM | QD | QOD | +

Definition

A code for the timing schedule (or just text in code.text). Some codes such as BID are ubiquitous, but many institutions define their own additional codes. If a code is provided, the code is understood to be a complete statement of whatever is specified in the structured timing data, and either the code or the data may be used to interpret the Timing, with the exception that .repeat.bounds still applies over the code (and is not contained in the code).

Comments

BID etc. are defined as 'at institutionally specified times'. For example, an institution may choose that BID is "always at 7am and 6pm". If it is inappropriate for this choice to be made, the code BID should not be used. Instead, a distinct organization-specific code should be used in place of the HL7-defined BID code and/or a structured representation should be used (in this case, specifying the two event times).

Element id

MedicationRequest.dosageInstruction.asNeeded[x]

Short description

Take "as needed" (for x)

Definition

The asNeeded structure can be used to define a simple “as required” (or “pro re nata” expressed as “PRN” for those who still prefer to use Latin abbreviations) instructions.

In this case use the asNeededBoolean option. The absence of asNeededBoolean is equivalent to where asNeededBoolean has a value of false.

The asNeededCodeableConcept option is used to bound the dosage instruction to a coded term. Any number of coded terms can be used from the SNOMED-CT hierarchy as a descendant of 404684003 Clinical Finding (finding). An extensive medication-as-needed-reason value-set is defined within FHIR which is a subset of the SNOMED-CT clinical findings hierarchy.

Comments

Can express "as needed" without a reason by setting the Boolean = True. In this case the CodeableConcept is not populated. Or you can express "as needed" with a reason by including the CodeableConcept. In this case the Boolean is assumed to be True. If you set the Boolean to False, then the dose is given according to the schedule and is not "prn" or "as needed".

Binding

A coded concept identifying the precondition that should be met or evaluated prior to consuming or administering a medication dose. For example "pain", "30 minutes prior to sexual intercourse", "on flare-up" etc.

Definition

The 999000041000001103 ePrescribing method simple reference set (foundation metadata concept) reference set collates the commonly used terms for method for use in the United Kingdom.

Whilst a FHIR value-set for method does exist, together with two separate hierarchies within SNOMED-CT (Dose form administration method and Dosing instruction fragment), it is recommended to use the ePrescribing reference set in the first instance.

</method>

Use of synonyms

In most instances it is anticipated that the UK Preferred term should be the term applied to SNOMED CT concepts However for some cases, for example the anatomically correct SNOMED-CT term may not be easily understood by the patient or clinician, the use of a synonym may be preferred.

Guidance for using terms that are not preferred terms is available within the published document Guidance on the use of CodeableConcept.

Requirements

A coded value indicating the method by which the medication is introduced into or onto the body. Most commonly used for injections. For examples, Slow Push; Deep IV.

Comments

Terminologies used often pre-coordinate this term with the route and or form of administration.

MedicationRequest.dosageInstruction.doseAndRate

Short description

Amount of medication administered

Definition

Dose and Rate elements within the Dosage structure have been combined within the R4 standard, but their underlying use and purpose is the same as per R4.

A dose or rate of medication can be described via one of the following methods. In both instances when considering Units of Measure note that UCUM is preferred.

Sub-element: `Dosage.doseAndRate.doseQuantity`

The amount of medication per dose, as a simple coded quantity.

<!-- Example A: 1 capsule -->
<doseAndRate>
    <doseQuantity>
        <value value="1"/>
        <unit value="capsule"/>
        <system value="http://snomed.info/sct"/>
        <code value="732937005"/>
    </doseQuantity>
</doseAndRate>

<!-- Example B: 30 milligrams -->
<doseAndRate>
    <doseQuantity>
        <value value="30"/>
        <unit value="milligram"/>
        <system value="http://unitsofmeasure.org"/>
        <code value="mg"/>
    </doseQuantity>
</doseAndRate>

Sub-element: `Dosage.doseAndRate.doseRange`

A dose that may be in a given low / high range.

<!-- for a dose between 7.5 to 30 milligram -->
<doseAndRate>
    <doseRange>
        <low>
            <value value="7.5"/>
            <unit value="milligram"/>
            <code value="mg"/>
            <system value="http://unitsofmeasure.org"/>
        </low>
        <high>
            <value value="30"/>
            <unit value="milligram"/>
            <code value="mg"/>
            <system value="http://unitsofmeasure.org"/>
        </high>
    </doseRange>
</doseAndRate>

A rate-based quantity, such as 30 ml per hour, can be expressed as a rateRatio with coded numerator and denominator values.

Where the unit of measure for the ratio is defined within UCUM (see Common UCUM Units), for example, “milliliter per hour”, it can also be expressed using the simpler rateQuantity structure.

Sub-element: `Dosage.doseAndRate.rateRatio`

Where the rate is expressed as coded numerator and denominator values.

at a rate of 30ml/hour using rateRatio

<doseAndRate>
 <rateRatio>
  <numerator>
   <value value="30"/>
   <unit value="millilitre"/>

   <value value="1"/>
   <unit value="hour"/>
   <system value="http://unitsofmeasure.org"/>
   <code value="h"/>
  </denominator>
 </rateRatio>
</doseAndRate>

Sub-element: `Dosage.doseAndRate.rateQuantity`

Where the unit of measure applicable to a rate is defined within UCUM which is mathematically equivalent to defining the rate using the more complex rateRatio structure.

at a rate of 30ml/hour using rateQuantity

<rateQuantity>
 <value value="30"/>
 <unit value="milliliters per hour"/>
 <system value="http://unitsofmeasure.org"/>

  <value value="1"/>
  <unit value="microgram per kilogram per hour"/>
  <system value="http://unitsofmeasure.org"/>
  <code value="ug/kg/h"/>
 </rateQuantity>
</doseAndRate>

Sub-element: `Dosage.doseAndRate.rateRange`

Where the unit of measure applicable to a rate range is defined within UCUM the rateRange structure can be used.

Short description

Amount of medication per dose

Definition

Amount of medication per dose.

Requirements

The amount of therapeutic or other substance given at one administration event.

Comments

Note that this specifies the quantity of the specified medication, not the quantity for each active ingredient(s). Each ingredient amount can be communicated in the Medication resource. For example, if one wants to communicate that a tablet was 375 mg, where the dose was one tablet, you can use the Medication resource to document that the tablet was comprised of 375 mg of drug XYZ. Alternatively if the dose was 375 mg, then you may only need to use the Medication resource to indicate this was a tablet. If the example were an IV such as dopamine and you wanted to communicate that 400mg of dopamine was mixed in 500 ml of some IV solution, then this would all be communicated in the Medication resource. If the administration is not intended to be instantaneous (rate is present or timing has a duration), this can be specified to convey the total amount to be administered over the period of time as indicated by the schedule e.g. 500 ml in dose, with timing used to convey that this should be done over 4 hours.

Short description

Amount of medication per unit of time

Definition

Amount of medication per unit of time.

Requirements

Identifies the speed with which the medication was or will be introduced into the patient. Typically the rate for an infusion e.g. 100 ml per 1 hour or 100 ml/hr. May also be expressed as a rate per unit of time e.g. 500 ml per 2 hours. Other examples: 200 mcg/min or 200 mcg/1 minute; 1 liter/8 hours. Sometimes, a rate can imply duration when expressed as total volume / duration (e.g. 500mL/2 hours implies a duration of 2 hours). However, when rate doesn't imply duration (e.g. 250mL/hour), then the timing.repeat.duration is needed to convey the infuse over time period.

Comments

It is possible to supply both a rate and a doseQuantity to provide full details about how the medication is to be administered and supplied. If the rate is intended to change over time, depending on local rules/regulations, each change should be captured as a new version of the MedicationRequest with an updated rate, or captured with a new MedicationRequest with the new rate.

It is possible to specify a rate over time (for example, 100 ml/hour) using either the rateRatio and rateQuantity. The rateQuantity approach requires systems to have the capability to parse UCUM grammer where ml/hour is included rather than a specific ratio where the time is specified as the denominator. Where a rate such as 500ml over 2 hours is specified, the use of rateRatio may be more semantically correct than specifying using a rateQuantity of 250 mg/hour.

MedicationRequest.dosageInstruction.maxDosePerPeriod

Short description

Upper limit on medication per unit of time

Definition

<div class="nhsd-a-box nhsd-a-box--bg-light-blue nhsd-!t-margin-bottom-6 nhsd-t-body"> Used to define a maxiumum dose over a given time period. </div>

An example would be a Sumatriptan 6mg injection which can be repeated after an hour but not again over a 24 hour period. The maxDosePerPeriod is defined as 12mg/24hours.

The maxDosePerPeriod is defined for each dosage instruction. For a multi-sequence instruction it would therefore be possible to define different maximum dosing periods within different sequences of the complete instruction.

<div class="nhsd-a-box nhsd-a-box--bg-light-yellow nhsd-!t-margin-bottom-6 nhsd-t-body"> A real-world example of where this would be required has not yet been identified. </div>

Requirements

The maximum total quantity of a therapeutic substance that may be administered to a subject over the period of time. For example, 1000mg in 24 hours.

Comments

This is intended for use as an adjunct to the dosage when there is an upper cap. For example "2 tablets every 4 hours to a maximum of 8/day".

Short description

Upper limit on medication per administration

Definition

<div class="nhsd-a-box nhsd-a-box--bg-light-blue nhsd-!t-margin-bottom-6 nhsd-t-body"> Used to define a maximum dose for a single administration. </div>

An example would be Anagrelide for which a single dose should not exceed 2.5 mg. The maxDosePerAdministration is defined as 2.5mg.

In many scenarios it is expected that the dosage.doseRange would be used instead of maxDosePerAdministration.

The maxDosePerAdministration is defined for each dosage instruction. For a multi-sequence instruction it would therefore be possible to define different maximum dose administrations within different sequences of the complete instruction.

Requirements

The maximum total quantity of a therapeutic substance that may be administered to a subject per administration.

Comments

This is intended for use as an adjunct to the dosage when there is an upper cap. For example, a body surface area related dose with a maximum amount, such as 1.5 mg/m2 (maximum 2 mg) IV over 5 – 10 minutes would have doseQuantity of 1.5 mg/m2 and maxDosePerAdministration of 2 mg.

<div class="callout-box--info"> Used to define the maximum cumulative dose over the lifetime of a patient. </div>

An example would be Daunorubicin which may have a maximum cumulative dose of 600mg/m2 (based on the size of the patient). The maxDosePerLifetime is defined as 600 mg/m2.

The maxDosePerLifetime can be defined for each dosage instruction; which, for a multi-sequence instruction is illogical, as any maxDosePerLifetime is equally applicable to all dosage sequence that relate to the single medication coded concept.

<div class="nhsd-a-box nhsd-a-box--bg-light-yellow nhsd-!t-margin-bottom-6 nhsd-t-body"> <strong>Note:</strong> If a <code>maxDosePerLifetime</code> statement is required with a multi-sequence instruction, it is recommended to define it within the last / final sequence to ensure that the information is presented at the end of a the complete instruction, rather than th middle which could be overlooked. </div>

Time period supply is authorized for

Definition

The validityPeriod attribute defines the validity period for the prescription authorisation. This period must start (the validityPeriod.start) at the date of prescribing and cannot exceed 12 months (the validityPeriod.end). Typically, most repeatable prescriptions will be authorised for a validity period of either 6 or 12 months.

"dispenseRequest": {
          "validityPeriod": {
            "start": "2020-06-10",
            "end": "2020-12-07"
          },
          ...
      }

Requirements

Indicates when the Prescription becomes valid, and when it ceases to be a dispensable Prescription.

Comments

It reflects the prescribers' perspective for the validity of the prescription. Dispenses must not be made against the prescription outside of this period. The lower-bound of the Dispensing Window signifies the earliest date that the prescription can be filled for the first time. If an upper-bound is not specified then the Prescription is open-ended or will default to a stale-date based on regulations.

Definition

The number of repeat issues authorised if specified. <br> <b>MUST</b> be present where a continuous or continuous-repeat-dispensing is authorised for a defined number of issues. <br> <b>MUST</b> NOT be specified where the number of repeat issues has not been defined. Therefore, the numberOfRepeats allowed is the total number of allowed issues. See also <a href="#repeatInformation">extension repeatInformation</a>

For continuous orders and continuous-repeat-dispensing with intent=reflex-order (i.e., orders sent from EPS to pharmacists) this <b>MUST</b> be zero. The numberOfRepeatsAllowed in the extension to basedOn can be used to convey this information to inform patients that they need to re-order the medication.

Example for a continuous issue:


"dispenseRequest": {
        "numberOfRepeatsAllowed": 0
    }

Example for a continuous-repeat-dispensing issue with intent of original-order:


"dispenseRequest": {
        "numberOfRepeatsAllowed": 2
    }

This will result in a total of three issues of the medication.

A sensible upper limit validation should be included within the System. If this value is omitted, the Spine will assume a value of 28.

"dispenseRequest": {
          ...
          "expectedSupplyDuration": {
            "value": 28,
            "unit": "days",
            "system": "http://unitsofmeasure.org",
            "code": "d"
          }
      }

Comments

In some situations, this attribute may be used instead of quantity to identify the amount supplied by how long it is expected to last, rather than the physical quantity issued, e.g. 90 days supply of medication (based on an ordered dosage). When possible, it is always better to specify quantity, as this tends to be more precise. expectedSupplyDuration will always be an estimate that can be influenced by external factors.

MedicationRequest.eventHistory.identifier.system

Short description

The namespace for the identifier value

Definition

Establishes the namespace for the value - that is, a URL that describes a set values that are unique.

Requirements

There are many sets of identifiers. To perform matching of two identifiers, we need to know what set we're dealing with. The system identifies a particular set of unique identifiers.

groupIdentifier (Short Form Prescription ID)

Definition

<RandomNumber>-<PracticeODSCode/ClinicODSCode>-<PracticeSequence/ClinicSequence><CheckDigit>

Where;

<RandomNumber> is a locally generated random number each time a Prescription ID is generated of length 6 hexadecimal characters.

<CheckDigit> is calculated on the entire ID using the ISO/IEC 7064:2003 MOD 37-2 standard. The check digit algorithm is identical to that using for EPS Release 1.

Note. Hyphens are always included to separate the ID into 3 blocks of 6 characters.

Note. The implementation of the MOD 37-2 standard uses a “+” character for char 36 opposed to a “*” character.

Short Form Prescription ID example (for illustration purposes only);

Establishes the namespace for the value - that is, a URL that describes a set values that are unique.

Requirements

There are many sets of identifiers. To perform matching of two identifiers, we need to know what set we're dealing with. The system identifies a particular set of unique identifiers.

Comments

Identifier.system is always case sensitive.

MedicationRequest.dosageInstruction.doseAndRate

Short description

Amount of medication administered

Definition

Dose and Rate elements within the Dosage structure have been combined within the R4 standard, but their underlying use and purpose is the same as per R4.

A dose or rate of medication can be described via one of the following methods. In both instances when considering Units of Measure note that UCUM is preferred.

Sub-element: `Dosage.doseAndRate.doseQuantity`

The amount of medication per dose, as a simple coded quantity.

<!-- Example A: 1 capsule -->
<doseAndRate>
    <doseQuantity>
        <value value="1"/>
        <unit value="capsule"/>
        <system value="http://snomed.info/sct"/>
        <code value="732937005"/>
    </doseQuantity>
</doseAndRate>

<!-- Example B: 30 milligrams -->
<doseAndRate>
    <doseQuantity>
        <value value="30"/>
        <unit value="milligram"/>
        <system value="http://unitsofmeasure.org"/>
        <code value="mg"/>
    </doseQuantity>
</doseAndRate>

Sub-element: `Dosage.doseAndRate.doseRange`

A dose that may be in a given low / high range.

<!-- for a dose between 7.5 to 30 milligram -->
<doseAndRate>
    <doseRange>
        <low>
            <value value="7.5"/>
            <unit value="milligram"/>
            <code value="mg"/>
            <system value="http://unitsofmeasure.org"/>
        </low>
        <high>
            <value value="30"/>
            <unit value="milligram"/>
            <code value="mg"/>
            <system value="http://unitsofmeasure.org"/>
        </high>
    </doseRange>
</doseAndRate>

A rate-based quantity, such as 30 ml per hour, can be expressed as a rateRatio with coded numerator and denominator values.

Where the unit of measure for the ratio is defined within UCUM (see Common UCUM Units), for example, “milliliter per hour”, it can also be expressed using the simpler rateQuantity structure.

Sub-element: `Dosage.doseAndRate.rateRatio`

Where the rate is expressed as coded numerator and denominator values.

at a rate of 30ml/hour using rateRatio

<doseAndRate>
 <rateRatio>
  <numerator>
   <value value="30"/>
   <unit value="millilitre"/>
   <system value="http://unitsofmeasure.org"/>
   <code value="mL"/>
  </numerator>
  <denominator>
   <value value="1"/>
   <unit value="hour"/>
   <system value="http://unitsofmeasure.org"/>
   <code value="h"/>
  </denominator>
 </rateRatio>
</doseAndRate>

Sub-element: `Dosage.doseAndRate.rateQuantity`

Where the unit of measure applicable to a rate is defined within UCUM which is mathematically equivalent to defining the rate using the more complex rateRatio structure.

at a rate of 30ml/hour using rateQuantity

<rateQuantity>
 <value value="30"/>
 <unit value="milliliters per hour"/>
 <system value="http://unitsofmeasure.org"/>
 <code value="mL/h"/>
</rateQuantity>

at a rate of 1mcg/kg/hour using rateQuantity

<doseAndRate>
 <rateQuantity>
  <value value="1"/>
  <unit value="microgram per kilogram per hour"/>
  <system value="http://unitsofmeasure.org"/>
  <code value="ug/kg/h"/>
 </rateQuantity>
</doseAndRate>

Sub-element: `Dosage.doseAndRate.rateRange`

Where the unit of measure applicable to a rate range is defined within UCUM the rateRange structure can be used.

give at 1-2 litres per minute using rateRange

<doseAndRate>
 <rateRange>
  <low>
   <value value="1"/>
   <unit value="liter per minute"/>
   <system value="http://unitsofmeasure.org"/>
   <code value="L/min"/>
  </low>
  <high>
   <value value="2"/>

Extension ExtensionUKCoreMedicationRepeatInformation used for repeat dispensing prescriptions.

Extension URL Usage

numberOfPrescriptionsIssued Running total of number of issues dispensed against a repeat dispensed prescription, including this issue.
Note: Prescribing systems will never populate this field. It will be populated within responses to cancellations requests on repeat dispensing prescriptions. It will identify how many issues have been dispensed so the consumer system can calculate how many remaining issues have been cancelled.

authorisationExpiryDate Required for repeat dispensing prescriptions. The date a repeat prescription authorisation will expire. Will often be the same date as validityPeriod.high. Optional for repeat prescribing prescriptions and if provided indicates the "review date" as recorded within the prescribing system.

Extension URL	Usage
numberOfPrescriptionsIssued	Running total of number of issues dispensed against a repeat dispensed prescription, including this issue. Note: Prescribing systems will never populate this field. It will be populated within responses to cancellations requests on repeat dispensing prescriptions. It will identify how many issues have been dispensed so the consumer system can calculate how many remaining issues have been cancelled.
authorisationExpiryDate	Required for repeat dispensing prescriptions. The date a repeat prescription authorisation will expire. Will often be the same date as `validityPeriod.high`. Optional for repeat prescribing prescriptions and if provided indicates the "review date" as recorded within the prescribing system.

       ]
   }
]

extension:responsiblePractitioner

Extension ExtensionDMResponsiblePractitioner must only be populated if the signing clinician identified within requester is not the same person as who would be printed on the bottom of an FP10 paper prescription. This generally only occurs for Primary Care for prescriptions signed by a GP Locum or GP Registrar, where the responsible practitioner would be a GP partner. The reference is to a PractitionerRole resource contained within the prescriptiobn-order message bundle.

Example

"extension": [

                }
            ]
        }
    }

extension:NHSBSAprescriptionType

Mandatory extension ExtensionNHSBSAprescriptionType to categorise the prescription type for NHS BSA processing purposes.

Example

"extension":  [
    {
        "url": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/StructureDefinition/Extension-DM-PrescriptionType",
        "valueCoding": {

            "display": "Outpatient Homecare Prescriber - Medical Prescriber"
        }
    }
]

extension:controlledDrug

Required extension ExtensionDMControlledDrug when the prescribed medication is listed within the Controlled Drug schedules. The schedule extension must be given for any controlled drug. It is a legal requirement to provide the quantityWords for Schedule 2 and 3 controlled drugs and the quantity stated must match the quantity defined as a numerical value within dispenseRequest.quantity.

Schedule	Code	EPS Scope	Expiry Date	Quantity Representation	Repeat Dispensing Allowed	RD 1st Issue Expiry	RD Subsequent Expiry
1	CD1	Out of scope	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A
2	CD2	In scope	28 days	Words and Figures	No	N/A	N/A
3	CD3	In scope	28 days	Words and Figures	No	N/A	N/A
4	CD4-1 CD4-2	In scope	28 days	Figures	Yes	28 days	Up to 12 months
5	CD5	In scope	6 Months	Figures	Yes	6 months	Up to 12 months

Example

An example for a Schedule 2 controlled drug with a prescribed quantity of 28.

{

                "display": "Schedule 2"
            }
        }
    ]
}

extension:dispensingInformation

Note: Prescribing systems will never populate the extension ExtensionEPSDispensingInformation.

The extension will be populated in downloaded issues of repeat dispensing prescriptions to inform the dispenser when the last issue of the prescription was completed. This can aid the dispenser with their clinical judgement for if the next issue of the prescription is being requested too soon or later than expected, to have an informed discussion with the patient about their medicines compliance.

Example

"extension":  [
    {
        "url": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/StructureDefinition/Extension-EPS-DispensingInformation",
        "extension":  [
            {
                "url": "dispenseStatus",
                "valueCoding": {
                    "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/CodeSystem/medicationdispense-type",
                    "code": "0001",
                    "display": "Item fully dispensed"
                }
            },
            {
                "url": "dateLastDispensed",
                "valueDateTime": "2018-04-22T09:57:03+00:00"
            }
        ]
    }
]

extension:prescriptionStatusHistory

Note: Prescribing systems will never populate the extension ExtensionPrescriptionStatusHistory.

It is used to convey the status of the MedicationRequest within a prescription-order-response which is the response to a cancellation request.

When a 200 response is returned, the applicable codes from the valueset DM-Prescription-Task-Status-Reason is as follows.

Code	Description
R-0001	Prescription or item was cancelled.
R-0002	Prescription or item was not cancelled. With dispenser. Marked for cancellation.
R-0003	Prescription or item was not cancelled. With dispenser active. Marked for cancellation.
R-0004	Prescription or item was not cancelled. Prescription has been dispensed.
R-0005	Prescription or item had expired.
R-0006	Prescription or item had already been cancelled.
R-0007	Prescription or item cancellation requested by another prescriber.
R-0010	Prescription or item was not cancelled. Prescription has been not dispensed.

Note: When a 4XX response is returned following a prescription-order-update then this will be returned as an OperationOutcome resource using other codes from the valueset DM-Prescription-Task-Status-Reason.

identifier:prescriptionOrderItem

Mandatory business identifier (UUID) for the MedicationRequest. The system must be https://fhir.nhs.uk/Id/prescription-order-item-number.

Example

 "identifier":  [
    {
        "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/Id/prescription-order-item-number",
        "value": "a54219b8-f741-4c47-b662-e4f8dfa49ab6"
    }
]

status

The status of the prescription using the medicationrequestStatus valueset. A prescribing system submitting a new prescription to the EPS will always use the value active.

Other status values may be seen in prescriptions downloaded by a dispenser, such as cancelled if the prescription has been cancelled.

Example

"status": "active"

statusReason

Always omit when the status is active.

Mandatory when requesting the cancellation of a prescription using the prescription-order-update message to share the reason for cancellation using the MedicationRequestStatusReason valueset.

Example

"statusReason": {
    "coding": [
        {
            "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/CodeSystem/medicationrequest-status-reason",

The intent is the type of order and use depends on the courseOfTherapyType.

intent	courseOfTherapyType
`order`	`acute`
`instance-order`	`continuous`
`original-order`	`continuous-repeat-dispensing`

Example

"intent": "instance-order"

category

Required data item for the care setting for the prescription using the MedicationRequestCategory valueset.

Code	Usage
`community`	Primary Care prescriptions
`outpatient`	Outpatient prescriptions, for dispensing in the community, opposed to dispensing by Trust pharmacy
`inpatient`	Not currently used by EPS

The EPS only accepts dm+d medication therefore the system shall always be http://dmd.nhs.uk with a terminology binding to NHS Digital Medication Code.

Note: EPS currently mandates the "system" as "http://snomed.info/sct" but this is planned to be changed to allow either coding system.

Only Virtual Medical Products (VMP) and Actual Medical Products (AMP) can be used with the EPS for the prescribed medication item as constrained by NHSDigitalMedicationRequestMedication.

Example

"medicationCodeableConcept": {
    "coding": [
        {
            "system": "http://dmd.nhs.uk",
            "code": "39720311000001101",
            "display": "Paracetamol 500mg soluble tablets"
        }
    ]
}

subject

Mandatory reference to an NHSDigital-Patient resource with a traced NHS Number. An untraced NHS Number MUST NOT be used for EPS.

Example

 "subject": {
    "type": "Patient",
    "reference": "urn:uuid:bde9eba6-079f-4210-8108-6ea8db58de8c",
    "display": "Miss Bernie Kanfeld"
}

authoredOn

Currently not used by EPS but may be provided.

Example

"authoredOn": "2025-09-08T09:00:00+00:00"

requester

Mandatory reference to a NHSDigital-PractitionerRole resource found elsewhere in the Bundle for the prescribing clincian who has electronically signed the prescription.

See also extension:responsiblePractitioner which may be required for some prescriptions.

Example

"requester": {
    "reference": "urn:uuid:56166769-c1c4-4d07-afa8-132b5dfca666"
}

basedOn.extension:repeatInformation

Note: Prescribing systems do not include this extension.

The extension ExtensionEPSRepeatInformation will be populated for repeat dispensing prescriptions downloaded by dispensing systems. It will inform the system of the current issue number of the repeat dispensing prescription, e.g. this is issue 3, where the dispenseRequest.numberOfRepeatsAllowed defined the maximum number of repeats, e.g. up to 6 issues. Therefore this issue is 3 of 6.

Example

 "basedOn": [
    {
        "extension": [
            {
                "url": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/StructureDefinition/Extension-EPS-RepeatInformation",
                "extension": [
                    {
                        "url": "numberOfRepeatsIssued",
                        "valueInteger": 3
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
]

groupIdentifier

The purpose of the groupIdentifier (also known as the "Short Form Prescription ID" or "Prescription ID") is as a unique identifier for the prescription during its lifecycle within the EPS (i.e. through prescribing, dispensing & claim). The format of the Short Form Prescription ID is as follows.

<RandomNumber>-<ODSCode>-<Sequence><CheckDigit>

Hyphens are always included to separate the Prescription ID into 3 blocks of 6 characters.

groupIdentifier element	Length	Format	Definition
RandomNumber	6	Hex	Locally generated random number each time a Prescription ID is generated.
ODSCode	6	Char	ODS organisation code for the prescribing organisation. Where the prescribing organisation ODS code is shorter than 6 characters it must be zero-padded up to six characters from the start of the ODS code, e.g. “0A1B2C”.
Sequence	5	Hex	Incremental sequence number starting from 00000 that is reset after FFFFF back to zero. For instances of prescribing systems that support prescribing practice/clinic, a sequence number per practice/clinic is required. This is to ensure uniqueness of prescriptions within the EPS during the prescription lifecycle.
CheckDigit	1	Char	Calculated on the entire ID using the ISO/IEC 7064:2003 MOD 37-2 standard. The EPS implementation of the MOD 37-2 standard uses a “+” character for char 36 opposed to a “*” character.

The system must be https://fhir.nhs.uk/Id/prescription-order-number.

Example

Short Form Prescription ID example.

83C40E-A23856-00123W

"groupIdentifier": {
    ...
    "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/Id/prescription-order-number",
    "value": "83C40E-A23856-00123W"
}

groupIdentifier.extension:PrescriptionOrderUUID

Mandatory extension Extension-DM-PrescriptionId for a UUID for the entire prescription. All MedicationRequest resources in the same prescription-order will have the same PrescriptionOrderUUID.

Example

"groupIdentifier": {
    "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/Id/prescription-order-number",
    "value": "83C40E-A23856-00123W",
    "extension": [
        {
            "url": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/StructureDefinition/Extension-DM-PrescriptionId",
            "valueIdentifier": {
            "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/Id/prescription",
            "value": "d9ad29cd-fb94-4dac-8e8e-ad5b4bbe5698"
            }
        }
    ]
}

courseOfTherapyType

Mandatory to state the nature of the prescribing regime used for the prescription. Note the binding is to a value set with codes taken from two code systems.

courseOfTherapyType	Usage	System
`acute`	For one-off / acute prescriptions	`http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/medicationrequest-course-of-therapy`
`continuous`	For repeat prescribing prescriptions	`http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/medicationrequest-course-of-therapy`
`continuous-repeat-dispensing`	For repeat dispensing prescriptions	`https://fhir.nhs.uk/CodeSystem/medicationrequest-course-of-therapy`

Example

"courseOfTherapyType": {
    "coding": [
        {
            "system": "http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/medicationrequest-course-of-therapy",
            "code": "acute",
            "display": "Short course (acute) therapy"
        }
    ]
}

note

Optional clinical information relating to a prescribed medication item that cannot be conveyed within dosage instructions is populated within note field.

Examples of dispensing notes are:

To explain changes in dosage, e.g. “Dosage has been increased on advice of the hospital”
Reminders of the patient, e.g. "Tell patient to stop their statin whilst on this anitbiotic"
Information for the dispensing that may avoid a clinical query, e.g. "hospital consultant has confirmed dual treatment"

One scenario where note must be populated is for repeat prescribing when the current prescribed item is the last authorised repeat for that authorised cycle. Appropriate text, such as “Last authorised repeat” must be included within the note to inform the dispenser and to allow the dispenser to communicate this to the patient or patient representative. Note this is not required for repeat dispensing as the numberOfRepeatPrescriptionsIssued element conveys this information.

Example

"note": [
    {
        "text": "Dosage has been increased on advice of the hospital"
    }
]

dosageInstruction

The content of the dosageInstruction should follow guidance in Digital Medicines Dosage.

The dosageInstruction.text must be supplied as a human readable version of the complete dosage instruction as would be printed on a paper prescription.

As per BNF guidelines, the dosage must be presented to the user without abbreviation although it may be entered and stored within the PMR in an abbreviated form.

Example

"dosageInstruction": [
   {
        "text": "Inject 10 milligram - once a week - Subcutaneous route - for 10 weeks",
        "timing": {
            "repeat": {
                "boundsDuration": {
                    "value": 10,
                    "unit": "week",
                    "system": "http://unitsofmeasure.org",
                    "code": "wk"
                },
                "frequency": 1,
                "period": 1,
                "periodUnit": "wk"
             }
        },
        "route": {
            "coding": [
                {
                    "system": "http://snomed.info/sct",
                    "code": "34206005",
                    "display": "Subcutaneous route"
                }
            ]
        },
        "method": {
            "coding": [
                {
                    "system": "http://snomed.info/sct",
                    "code": "422145002",
                    "display": "Inject"
                }
            ]
        },
        "doseAndRate": [
            {
                "doseQuantity": {
                    "value": 10,
                    "unit": "milligram",
                    "system": "http://unitsofmeasure.org",
                    "code": "mg"
                }
            }
        ]
    }
]

dispenseRequest

Mandatory for the EPS to indicate the specific details for the medication request.

dispenseRequest.extension:performerSiteType

Mandatory extension ExtensionPerformerSiteType to specify the nomination type, including if a non-nominated prescription.

dispensing-site-preference	Usage
P1	Community pharmacy or Homecare dispensing contractor
P2	Dispensing appliance contractor
P3	Dispensing doctor
0004	Non-nominated

Example

"dispenseRequest": {
    "extension":  [
        {
            "url": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/StructureDefinition/Extension-DM-PerformerSiteType",
            "valueCoding": {
                "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/CodeSystem/dispensing-site-preference",
                "code": "0004"
            }
        },
    ]
}

dispenseRequest.validityPeriod

The validityPeriod.start is mandatory for all prescriptions and represents the start date for the prescription. Use a future date for post-dated prescriptions.

The validityPeriod.end is required for repeat dispensing prescriptions. It shall be the end date the repeat dispensing prescription validity. Legislation constrains the maximum validity period to 12 months but the prescriber may only want to issue 6 months of medication using repeat dispensing so can constrain the validity period using this data element.

Example for acute or repeat prescribing

"dispenseRequest": {
    "validityPeriod": {
        "start": "2020-06-10"
    }
}

Example for repeat dispensing

"dispenseRequest": {
    "validityPeriod": {
        "start": "2020-06-10",
        "end": "2020-12-07"
    }
}

dispenseRequest.numberOfRepeatsAllowed

Required for repeat dispensing prescriptions. An integer indicating the number of times, in addition to the original dispense, (aka refills or repeats) that the patient can receive the prescribed medication. A value of 5 means total of 6 issues of the repeat dispensing prescription will be created.

Note: If populated for repeat prescribing prescriptions, use a fixed value of 0. Always omit for acute prescriptions.

Example

"dispenseRequest": {
    "numberOfRepeatsAllowed": 11 
    ...for a repeat dispensing prescription with 12 issues
}

dispenseRequest.quantity

Mandatory field for the requested medication quantity to be dispensed. For repeat dispensing prescriptions this is the requested quantity to dispense per issue, not the total quantity over the overall authorisation.

The Unified Code for Units of Measure (UCUM) is preferred codeSystem for units of measure within the FHIR standard and should be used where the unit of measure is defined. Where a UCUM unit of measure is not defined, use a SNOMED-CT unit of measure instead. All units of measure are descendants of concept 767524001 | Unit of measure (qualifier value) which includes both UCUM and non-UCUM codes.

Note: Dispensers in England have some flexibility for the quantity they dispense when products are available in different packs sizes, e.g. 28 tablet packs or 30 tablet packs. The NHS BSA will allow +/- 10% of the prescribed quantity when a prescriber requests, say 28 tablets, but the product is only available as 30 tablet products.

Example

Example using UCUM.

"dispenseRequest": {
    "quantity": {
        "value": 12.5,
        "unit": "milliliter",
        "system": "http://unitsofmeasure.org",
        "code": "ml"
    }
}

Example using SNOMED-CT.

"dispenseRequest": {
    "quantity": {
        "value": 28,
        "unit": "capsule",
        "system": "http://snomed.info/sct",
        "code": "3316911000001105"
    }
}

dispenseRequest.expectedSupplyDuration

Required for repeat dispensing prescriptions. This element defines the expected duration, in days, of each issue of the prescription.

Example

"dispenseRequest": {
    "expectedSupplyDuration": {
        "value": 28,
        "unit": "days",
        "system": "http://unitsofmeasure.org",
        "code": "d"
    }
}

dispenseRequest.performer

Required for nominated prescriptions to specify, by ODS code, the dispensing organisation that the patient has chosen to use for this prescription. Prescribing systems can optionally include the nominated dispenser name in performer.display.

Must be omitted for non-nominated prescriptions to allow the patient to present at any dispenser.

Example

"dispenseRequest": {
    "performer": {
        "identifier": {
            "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/Id/ods-organization-code",
            "value": "VNE51"
        },
        "display": "The Simple Pharmacy"
    }
}

dispenseRequest.performer.extension:dispensingPractitioner

Prescribing systems will never include this extension within a prescription-order message.

The extension ExtensionDMDispensingPerformer will be populated in a response to a Prescription Release or prescription-order-update for prescriptions unable to be downloaded or cancelled as with another dispenser. This extension is a reference of a PractitionerRole resource that will be included within the response Bundle along with other referenced resources. This information will be used by the dispensing system to inform the user that the prescription is with another dispenser, with contact details for that dispenser.

Example

"dispenseRequest": { 
    "performer": {
        "extension":  [
            {

}

NHSDigital-CommunicationRequest

Profile url
https://fhir.nhs.uk/StructureDefinition/NHSDigital-CommunicationRequest

This resource may be included within the EPS prescription-order message to convey information to the patient. The EPS requirement for dispensing systems is that communications shared in this way must be made visible to the patient. This is not the only method for patient communications. Methods such as via the NHS App may be more appropriate. This use of this resource is primarily for Primary Care (GP) prescribing systems that continue to print patient communications on the right-hand side of paper FP10 prescriptions. Where EPS is used, the prescription may be paperless, so using this resource replaces the right-hand side of the paper prescription.

Business identifiers assigned to this communication request by the performer or other systems which remain constant as the resource is updated and propagates from server to server.

Requirements

Allows identification of the communication request as it is known by various participating systems and in a way that remains consistent across servers.

Comments

This is a business identifier, not a resource identifier (see discussion). It is best practice for the identifier to only appear on a single resource instance, however business practices may occasionally dictate that multiple resource instances with the same identifier can exist - possibly even with different resource types. For example, multiple Patient and a Person resource instance might share the same social insurance number.

CommunicationRequest is used in Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) to convey patient specific information. This includes:

patient information - messages to the patient
medications - list of authorised repeat medications which is contained on a FHIR List resource, details and example list of repeat medications can be found in profile UKCore-List

These would be traditionally printed on the right hand side of the FP10 stationery.

CommunicationRequest should not contain Clinical information regarding the prescriptions, these should be conveyed in the MedicationRequest resource.

EPS

CommunicationRequest is used in Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) to convey patient specific information. This includes:

patient information - messages to the patient
medications - list of authorised repeat medications which is contained on a FHIR List resource, details and example list of repeat medications can be found in profile UKCore-List

These would be traditionally printed on the right hand side of the FP10 stationery.

CommunicationRequest should not contain Clinical information regarding the prescriptions, these should be conveyed in the MedicationRequest resource.


    "payload":  [
        {
            "contentString": "Please make an appointment to see your GP. Review date due"

payload.contentString

Optional communications to the patient, not related to the prescription, may be shared within this data element. Such communications would be akin to what could historically have been printed on the right-hand side of a paper FP10 prescription.

Note: Patient communications specific to the prescribed medication item must be MedicationRequest.

Example

"payload": [
    {
        "contentString": "Due to Coronavirus restrictions Church View Surgery is CLOSED until further notice"
    }
]

payload.contentReference

Optional reference to a UKCore-List resource containing a list of the patient's authorised repeat medications. A Primary Care (GP) prescribing system may choose to include this information with the prescription if this will benefit the patient. Prescribing systems outside General Practice should not have the need to provide this data.

Example

"payload": [ 
    {
        "contentReference": {

UKCore-List

The UKCore-List resource is used to list a patient's authorised repeat medications, referenced from a NHSDigital-CommunicationRequest resource, which may be included within the EPS prescription-order message. A Primary Care (GP) prescribing system may choose to include this information with the prescription if this will benefit the patient. Prescribing systems outside General Practice should not have the need to use this resource.

Definition

True if this item is marked as deleted in the list.

Requirements

The flag element may contain codes that an application processing the list does not understand. However there can be no ambiguity if a list item is actually marked as "deleted".

Comments

If the flag means that the entry has actually been deleted from the list, the deleted element SHALL be true. Both flag and deleted can only be used if the List.mode is "changes". A deleted entry should be displayed in narrative as deleted. This element is labeled as a modifier because it indicates that an item is (to be) no longer in the list.

Reference the Patient resource that will already be in the Bundle as referenced elsewhere, as the subject.reference.

List each repeat medication as an entry[].item.display. The entry is free text but must contain the medication item name/description using dm+d terms, where these concepts exist or where a mapping from a proprietary terminology exists, otherwise expressed using proprietary terms. Where applicable the statement should contain the current issue number and maximum number of issues authorised, e.g. “Bendroflumethiazide 2.5 mg Tablets (3/6)”.

Short description

Who the dispense is for

Definition

A reference to the patient via a traced NHS Number is required, an untraced NHS Number MUST NOT be used. This can be sent in two ways, first option is via a identifier reference. Only the NHS Number:

"subject": {
    "type": "Patient",
    "identifier": {
        "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/Id/nhs-number",
        "value": "2300992742"
    }
}

Second option uses a FHIR Patient resource to convey the NHS Number.

The reference in the MedicationDispesnse is now a resource reference.

 "subject": {
                    "type": "Patient",
                    "reference": "urn:uuid:bde9eba6-079f-4210-8108-6ea8db58de8c",
                    "display": "Miss Bernie Kanfeld"
                }

The NHS Number has moved to the Patient resource alongside other patient identifiers such as MRN. E.g.

"fullUrl": "urn:uuid:bde9eba6-079f-4210-8108-6ea8db58de8c",
"resource": {
                "resourceType": "Patient",

                                }
                            }
                        ],

                    }
                ],
               ... other elements removed from example.
            }

It is anticipated that hospital pharmacies will prefer the later option for compatibility with other systems. Community pharmacies are anticipated to prefer the former option.

When a MedicationDispesne is sent in a FHIR Message bundle, which is the case with EPS NextGen dispense-notifications, a contained MedicationRequest is required.

This MedicationRequest MUST follow the rules in NHSDigital-MedicationRequest and it is strongly recommended to reuse the MedicationRequest received when the prescription was downloaded.

This is based on a MedicationRequest in this implementation guide. The uuid resource references are not permitted and must be replaced with identifier references. E.g. in this section from the $release

        "subject": {
            "reference": "urn:uuid:78d3c2eb-009e-4ec8-a358-b042954aa9b2"
        },

        "requester": {
            "reference": "urn:uuid:56166769-c1c4-4d07-afa8-132b5dfca666"
        },

The requester reference can be removed and the subject reference changed to use the Patient's NHSNumber e.g.

        "subject": {
            "identifier": {
            "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/Id/nhs-number",
            "value": "9876543210"

Coded form of the unit

Definition

A computer processable form of the unit in some unit representation system.

Requirements

Need a computable form of the unit that is fixed across all forms. UCUM provides this for quantities, but SNOMED CT provides many units of interest.

Comments

The preferred system is UCUM, but SNOMED CT can also be used (for customary units) or ISO 4217 for currency. The context of use may additionally require a code from a particular system.

Comments

When the dose or rate is intended to change over the entire administration period (e.g. Tapering dose prescriptions), multiple instances of dosage instructions will need to be supplied to convey the different doses/rates. The pharmacist reviews the medication order prior to dispense and updates the dosageInstruction based on the actual product being dispensed.

Short description

Medication order that authorizes the dispense

Definition

A reference to the MedicationRequest.

"authorizingPrescription": [
    {
        "reference": "#m1"
    }
]

When a MedicationDispesne is sent in a FHIR Message bundle, which is the case with EPS NextGen dispense-notifications, a contained MedicationRequest is required.

This MedicationRequest MUST follow the rules in NHSDigital-MedicationRequest and it is strongly recommended to reuse the MedicationRequest received when the prescription was downloaded.

For example:

Element id

MedicationDispense.detectedIssue.identifier.system

Short description

The namespace for the identifier value

Definition

Establishes the namespace for the value - that is, a URL that describes a set values that are unique.

Requirements

There are many sets of identifiers. To perform matching of two identifiers, we need to know what set we're dealing with. The system identifies a particular set of unique identifiers.

Comments

Identifier.system is always case sensitive.

Prescription and Item Status Management

EPS manages the dispensing workflow status at both the medication item (i.e. this resource) and at the overall prescription level. Within the International FHIR data model there is no concept of an overall "prescription". EPS uses extensions to this MedicationRequest resource to convey the overall prescription status, all within the dispense-notification FHIR message.

FHIR Element	Purpose
status	Dispensing status of this medication item using the FHIR valueset
type	Dispensing status of this medication item using a legacy EPS valueset
statusReason	Coded reason if this medication item has been recorded as 'Not Dispensed' using a legacy EPS valueset
extension:prescriptionStatus	Dispensing status for the overall prescription using a legacy EPS valueset
extension:prescriptionNonDispensingReason	Coded reason if the overall prescription is recorded as 'Not Dispensed' using a legacy EPS valueset

status

Mandatory status of the dispensed medication item using the international standard FHIR valueset.

FHIR Status	Usage
`preparation`	Not to be used for recording dispensing events.
`in-progress`	When partial dispensing has occurred with some medication dispensed but a remaining quantity to follow as a separate dispensing event
`cancelled`	When the item has been cancelled on EPS or has expired.
`on-hold`	When the item is owing but other item(s) on the prescription have been dispensed.
`completed`	When dispensing activities for the item have been completed.
`entered-in-error`	Not to be used for recording dispensing events. See Dispense Notification Withdraw for how to correct human errors.
`stopped`	When the item is marked as not dispensed as instructed by a clinician.
`declined`	When the item is marked as not dispensed as instructed by the patient.
`unknown`	Not to be used for recording dispensing events.

Example

"status": "completed"

type

Required status of the dispensed medication item using the legacy valueset DM-MedicationDispense-Type.

Use this mapping table to cross reference the FHIR status with the legacy EPS item status.

DM-MedicationDispenseType	FHIR Status
`0001 Item fully dispensed`	`completed`
`0002 Item not dispensed`	`stopped` or `declined`
`0003 Item dispensed - partial`	`in-progress`
`0004 Item not dispensed - owing`	`on-hold`
`0005 Item cancelled`	`cancelled`
`0006 Expired`	`cancelled`

Example

"status": "on-hold",
"type": {
    "coding": [
        {
            "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/CodeSystem/medicationdispense-type",
            "code": "0004",
            "display": "Item not dispensed - owing"
        }
    ]
}

statusReason

Required when type is 0002 Item not dispensed to provide a coded DM-MedicationDispense-Status-Reason for the medication item not being dispensed.

Example

"status": "declined",
"type": {
    "coding": [
        {
            "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/CodeSystem/medicationdispense-type",

            "display": "Not required as instructed by the patient"
        }
    ]
}

extension:prescriptionStatus

Required overall business status of the prescription-order using the extension ExtensionEPSTaskBusinessStatus to provide a legacy EPS coded DM-Task-Status-Reason value which represents the dispensing status for ALL medication items on the prescription.

Example

"extension": [
    {
        "url": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/StructureDefinition/Extension-EPS-TaskBusinessStatus",
        "valueCoding": {
            "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/CodeSystem/EPS-task-business-status",
            "code": "0003",
            "display": "With Dispenser - Active"
        }
    }
]

extension:prescriptionNonDispensingReason

Required when extension:prescriptionStatus is 0007 Not Dispensed using the extension ExtensionPrescriptionNonDispensingReason to provide a legacy EPS coded DM-MedicationDispense-Status-Reason for why the whole prescription is being recorded as not dispensed.

Example

"extension": [
    {
        "url": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/StructureDefinition/Extension-EPS-TaskBusinessStatus",
        "valueCoding": {
            "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/CodeSystem/EPS-task-business-status",
            "code": "0007",
            "display": "Not Dispensed"
        }
    },
    {
        "url": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/StructureDefinition/Extension-DM-PrescriptionNonDispensingReason",
        "valueCoding": {
            "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/CodeSystem/medicationdispense-status-reason",

            "display": "Clinically unsuitable"
        }
    }
]

Prescription and Item Status Valid Combinations

Cross reference for valid state combinations between the prescription status (extension:prescriptionStatus) and item status (type). The same logic applies if there are 3 or 4 medication items on the prescription. Dispense notifications are only submitted when medication has been dispensed, or consciously not dispensed for the patient.

Prescription Status extension:prescriptionStatus	Item #1 Status type	Item #2 Status type
0001 To Be Dispensed	See note below
0002 With Dispenser	See note below
0003 With Dispenser - Active	`0001 Item fully dispensed`	`0003 Item dispensed - partial` or `0004 Item not dispensed - owing`
0003 With Dispenser - Active	`0003 Item dispensed - partial`	`0005 Item cancelled` or `0004 Item not dispensed - owing` or `0002 Item not dispensed`
0004 Expired	`0006 Expired`	`0006 Expired`
0005 Cancelled	`0005 Item cancelled`	`0005 Item cancelled` or `0002 Item not dispensed`
0006 Dispensed	`0001 Item fully dispensed`	`0001 Item fully dispensed` or `0005 Item cancelled` or `0002 Item not dispensed` or `0006 Expired`
0007 Not Dispensed	`0002 Item not dispensed`	`0002 Item not dispensed` or `0006 Expired`

Note: The prescription states of 0001 To Be Dispensed and 0002 With Dispenser are not applicable for an EPS Dispense Notification using this resource.

extension:repeatInformation

Required extension ExtensionEPSRepeatInformation for repeat dispensing prescriptions.

The numberOfRepeatsIssued will be the current issue, where the first issue is 1. The numberOfRepeatsAllowed will be the total number of authorised issues.

Example

"extension": [
    {
        "url": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/StructureDefinition/Extension-EPS-RepeatInformation",
        "extension": [
            {
                "url" : "numberOfRepeatsAllowed",
                "valueInteger" : 6
            },
            {
                "url" : "numberOfRepeatsIssued",
                "valueInteger" : 2
            }
        ]
    }
]

identifier

Each MedicationDispense MUST be identified by an Universal Unique Identifiers (UUIDs) with a system of https://fhir.nhs.uk/Id/prescription-dispense-item-number. This is a business identifier, not a resource identifier.

Example

UUID example (for illustration purposes only);

4509B70D-D8B8-EA03-1105-64557CB54A29

 "identifier":  [
    {
        "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/Id/prescription-dispense-item-number",
        "value": "4509B70D-D8B8-EA03-1105-64557CB54A29"
    }
]

medication

Mandatory medicationCodeableConcept using the profiled NHSDigitalMedicationDispenseCodeableConcept data element to represent the dispensed medication. This uses the valueset DM-MedicationDispense-Code containing dm+d products from the VMP, AMP, VMPP and AMPP reference sets.

Where possible, Actual Medical Product Packs (AMPP) should be used as these concepts are those that physically exist on a pharmacy shelf.

dm+d Category	dm+d Description	UK SNOMED Members Of
AMPP	Actual Medical Product Pack	999000551000001106
VMPP	Virtual Medical Product Pack	999000571000001104
AMP	Actual Medical Product	999000541000001108

            "display": "Amoxil 500mg capsules (Dowelhurst Ltd) 12 capsule"
        }
    ]
}

subject

Mandatory patient NHS Number identifier or reference to an NHSDigital-Patient resource.

Note: It is highly recommended to implement as a patient NHS Number identifier as this is the least complex option and EPS only needs to know the NHS Number.

Example when using a subject.identifier.

"subject": {
    "type": "Patient",
    "identifier": {
        "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/Id/nhs-number",
        "value": "2300992742"
    }
}

performer

Mandatory reference to a CONTAINED NHSDigital-PractitionerRole resource.

The PractitionerRole.organization must be a reference to an Organization resource. This resource is not a CONTAINED resource. It is included once within the dispense-notification Bundle as a single prescription can only be dispensed by a single organisation. For pharmacy hub & spoke operations, always reference the spoke pharmacy as this is the organisation clinically responsible for dispensing.

The referenced Organization resource must contain the extension Extension-ODS-OrganisationRelationships to identify the prescription reimbursement agency. For England use T1450 for the NHS BUSINESS SERVICES AUTHORITY. For Wales use RQFZ1 for the NWSSP AUDIT & ASSURANCE SERVICES.

authorizingPrescription

Mandatory reference to the MedicationRequest resource received from EPS.

For the EPS dispense-notification message, the referenced MedicationRequest MUST be a CONTAINED resource within this resource. It is recommended to reuse the MedicationRequest as received when the prescription was downloaded. Alternatively some data elements can be removed as defined by the NHSDigitalMedicationRequestMinimal profile, ensuring that for repeat dispensing prescriptions both extension:medicationRepeatInformation and dispenseRequest.numberOfRepeatsAllowed are included.

For the EPS implementation, there should only ever be a reference to a single MedicationRequest so the cardinality should be treated as 1..1.

Example

{
    "resourceType": "MedicationDispense",
    "contained":  [
        {
            "resourceType": "MedicationRequest",
            "id": "m1",
            ... the rest of the MedicationRequest data items
        }
    ],
    "authorizingPrescription":  [
        {
            "reference": "#m1"
        }
    ],
    ... the rest of the MedicationDispense data items
}

quantity

Mandatory quantity and unit of measure for the medication dispensed. If no actual quantity has been dispensed then use a value of zero.

Example using UCUM.

"quantity": {
    "value": 12.5,
    "unit": "milliliter",
    "system": "http://unitsofmeasure.org",
    "code": "ml"
}

Example using SNOMED-CT.

"quantity": {
    "value": 28,
    "unit": "capsule",
    "system": "http://snomed.info/sct",
    "code": "3316911000001105"
}

daysSupply

Optional amount of medication expressed as a timing amount in days. This is currently not used by EPS processes.

Example

"daysSupply": {
    "value": 7,
    "unit": "Day",
    "system": "http://unitsofmeasure.org",
    "code": "d"
}

whenPrepared

Optional date and time of the dispensing event. This is currently not used by EPS processes.

Example

"whenPrepared": "2024-09-15T16:30:00+00:00"

whenHandedOver

Required date and time that the dispensed product was provided to the patient or their representative. The date should reflect, as close as business processes allow, when the patient was supplied the medication. For example, for home delivery services, this can represent a shipping timestamp.

Example

"whenHandedOver": "2024-09-16T17:15:00+00:00"

dosageInstruction

At present only the dosageInstruction.text element MUST be provided. It is recommended to follow the guidance with the NHS England Dose Syntax Implementation Guidance for implemementation of fully structured dosing instructions.

Example

        "timing": {
            "repeat": {

NHSDigital-Claim

Profile url
https://fhir.nhs.uk/StructureDefinition/NHSDigital-Claim

Important: The implementation of this resource by the EPS mandates the use of "contained" FHIR resources.

The Claim resource collates all the prescription and dispensing data required for prescription reimbursement financial processing. The dispensing of a single prescription-order is claimed for using a single Claim resource, therefore the cardinality of the item data element is different to the FHIR international standard, profiled as 1..1.

Many data items are taken from the downloaded prescription-order or submitted dispense-notification messages. Three additional items of business data will be captured by the dispensing system for reimbursement purposes.

Did the patient pay a prescription charge, and how many charges (some combination pack medication products attract two prescription charges)?
If prescription charge exempt, was evidence seen?
Any associated dispensing endorsement codes with supporting data.

In the event of human error, a Claim can be amended by re-submission. The extension:Extension-replacementOf must contain the Claim.identifier for the Claim being replaced. Reimbursement authorities may have different business rules for when a claim can be amended.

Migration from HL7v3: A cross reference between HL7v3 Dispense Claim Information data elements and FHIR Claim data elements is provided at the bottom of this page.

Original prescription which has been superseded by this prescription to support the dispensing of pharmacy services, medications or products.

Requirements

Often required when a fulfiller varies what is fulfilled from that authorized on the original prescription.

Comments

For example, a physician may prescribe a medication which the pharmacy determines is contraindicated, or for which the patient has an intolerance, and therefore issues a new prescription for an alternate medication which has the same therapeutic intent. The prescription from the pharmacy becomes the 'prescription' and that from the physician becomes the 'original prescription'.

        "code": "no-evidence-seen",
        "display": "No Evidence Seen"
      }
    ]
  }
]

item.detail

A claim detail entry will relate to each MedicationRequest in the prescription-order being claimed. Based on current EPS rules, this will be between 1 to 4 medication items.

item.detail.extension:medicationRequest

Mandatory reference to the MedicationRequest.identifier:prescriptionOrderItem for the prescribed medication item using the Extension ExtensionClaimMedicationRequestIdentifier.

        "valueInteger": 2
      }
    ]
  }
]

item.detail.extension:taskBusinessStatusReason

Problem: The OAS spec does not mention this extension? The extension does not state the valueset, so which should be used?

Required when item.detail.modifier is 0002 | Item not dispensed which denotes the medication item has not been dispensed, where this extension provides a coded reason for non-dispensing.

The profile extension is ExtensionEPSTaskBusinessStatusReason which does not state any binding to a valueset. Use the valueset DM-MedicationDispense-Status-Reason.

Example

"modifier":  [
  {
    "coding":  [
      {
        "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/CodeSystem/medicationdispense-type",
        "code": "0002",

    "valueCoding": {
      "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/CodeSystem/medicationdispense-status-reason",
      "code": "0001",
      "display": "Not required as instructed by the patient"
    }
  }
]

item.detail.sequence

A sequential integer to identify the item within the resource so will be betwen 1 and 4 depending on how many prescribed medication items are on the prescription.

item.detail.productOrService

The medicationCodeableConcept of the prescribed medication item, taken from the MedicationRequest.

Example

"productOrService": {
  "coding": [
      {
      "system": "http://dmd.nhs.uk",
      "code": "39732311000001104",
      "display": "Amoxicillin 250mg capsules"
      }
  ]
}

item.detail.modifier

Required code for the medication item dispensing status, taken from the NHSDigital-MedicationDispense and using the DM-MedicationDispense-Type valueset.

When the value is 0002 - Item not dispensed then the extension item.detail.extension:taskBusinessStatusReason must be provided.

Example

"modifier":  [
  {
    "coding":  [
      {
        "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/CodeSystem/medicationdispense-type",
        "code": "0001",
        "display": "Item fully dispensed"
      }
    ]
  }
]

item.detail.programCode

Mandatory coded prescriptionCharge for whether or not a prescription charge was paid for the medication treatment, including if two charges applied.

Coded dispensingEndorsement for endorsements to support the claim for this medication items, including the code NDEC when no endorsements are declared. Multiple endorsements may be applicable.

Where an endorsement requires supporting information, include this within a text value.

Example

"programCode":  [
  {
    "coding":  [
      {
          "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/CodeSystem/DM-prescription-charge",
          "code": "paid-once",
          "display": "Paid Once"
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    "coding": [
      {
        "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/CodeSystem/medicationdispense-endorsement",
        "code": "IP",
        "display": "Invoice Price for less common products or special items"
      }
    ],
    "text": "15gram,£12.34,EFGH Ltd"
  }
]

item.detail.quantity

The quantity of the prescribed medication item, taken from the MedicationRequest.dispenseRequest.quantity.

Example

"quantity": {
  "value": 30,
  "unit": "tablet",
  "system": "http://snomed.info/sct",
  "code": "428673006"
}

item.detail.subDetail

The subDetail is present when medication has been dispensed, which will be the normal scenario when submitting a Claim.

It would be typical that a single medication item will be dispensed to fulfil a single medication request. This would result in a single instance of subDetail.

For example:
item.detail.productOrService = Atenolol 50mg tablets (VMP)
item.detail.subDetail[0].productOrService = Atenolol 50mg tablets (Accord-UK Ltd) 28 tablet (AMPP)

There will also be cases when multiple medication items may be dispensed to fulfil a single medication request. This would result in multiple instances of subDetail.

For example:
item.detail.productOrService = Elemental 028 Extra liquid (Flavour Not Specified) (AMP)
item.detail.subDetail[0].productOrService = Elemental 028 Extra liquid grapefruit (Nutricia Ltd) 250 ml (AMPP)
item.detail.subDetail[1].productOrService = Elemental 028 Extra liquid summer fruits (Nutricia Ltd) 250 ml (AMPP)
item.detail.subDetail[2].productOrService = Elemental 028 Extra liquid orange & pineapple (Nutricia Ltd) 250 ml (AMPP)

item.detail.subDetail.extension:medicationDispense

A reference to something outside the Claim - but what? It is not defined in the OAS schema? The system suggests the UUID identifier from the MedicationDispense resources so I'll assume that. This element is also maybe not even needed as does not appear to map across to any legacy HL7v3 data element?

Reference to the MedicationDispense.identifier for the dispensed medication item using the Extension ExtensionClaimMedicationRequestIdentifier.

Example

"extension": [
  {
    "url": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/StructureDefinition/Extension-ClaimMedicationDispenseReference",
    "valueReference": {
      "identifier": {
        "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/Id/prescription-dispense-item-number",
        "value": "fd833d33-f128-4fa2-a807-1fc8a7db2658"
      }
    }
  }
]

item.detail.subDetail.extension:repeatInformation

This extension has been deprecated and must not be used for new implementations.

item.detail.subDetail.sequence

Mandatory sequential integer id for each detail entry.

item.detail.subDetail.productOrService

Mandatory dipensed medication dm+d concept taken from the NHSDigital-MedicationDispense using the valueset DM-MedicationDispense-Code containing dm+d products from the VMP, AMP, VMPP and AMPP reference sets.

Where possible, Actual Medical Product Packs (AMPP) should be used as these concepts are those that physically exist on a pharmacy shelf.

Example

"productOrService": {
  "coding":  [
    {
      "system": "http://dmd.nhs.uk",
      "code": "3416211000001106",

Important: The implementation of this resource by the EPS mandates the use of "contained" FHIR resources.

The NHSDigital-Task resource is used by EPS dispensing (pharmacy) systems to perform two RESTful operations.

Withdraw: Withdraw (delete) a submitted dispensing notification - see Dispense Notification Withdraw.
Return: Return a downloaded prescription to the EPS, so it can be downloaded by another pharmacy - see Prescription Return.

Task

Short description

A task to be performed

Definition

FHIR Task usage and scope is defined as

A task resource describes an activity that can be performed and tracks the state of completion of that activity. It is a representation that an activity should be or has been initiated, and eventually, represents the successful or unsuccessful completion of that activity. Note that there are a variety of processes associated with making and processing orders. Some orders may be handled immediately by automated systems but most require real world actions by one or more humans. Some orders can only be processed when other real world actions happen, such as a patient presenting themselves so that the action to be performed can actually be performed. Often these real world dependencies are only implicit in the order details.

A Task resource often exists in parallel with clinical resources.

For example, a Task could request fulfillment of a ServiceRequest ordering a Procedure that would result in a Procedure, Observation, DiagnosticReport, ImagingStudy or similar resource. Another example would be a Task that requests fulfillment of a CommunicationRequest to be performed between various actors.

Comments

Task has three main uses:

basic delivery of an order resource (e.g. MedicationRequest or ServiceRequest)
minor workflow requests (e.g. phone patient, complete form or validate a referral)
workflow support (centred around complex workflow support and may involves a workflow engine)

Order Fulfilment

Centres on the fulfilment of the order. It does not contain the order details which are held in a referenced request resource. In the diagram below the recipient or fulfiller of the order uses FHIR Task to accept or reject the order, it also uses Task to send event updates. Note the fulfiller will use other resources to record the details of the fulfilment such as MedicationDispense for a MedicationRequest.

Examples:

Task.code	Task.status	Task.focus	Task.requester	Meaning
fulfill	rejected	MedicationRequest	dispenser	The dispenser is rejecting the fulfilment/deliver of a referenced MedicationRequest. The MedicationRequest is not cancelled
fullfill	cancelled	MedicationRequest	any	The requested fulfilment of the MedicationRequest is cancelled. The referenced MedicationRequest is not cancelled
fullfill	accepted	MedicationRequest	dispenser	The dispenser is taking responsibility of fulfilling the referenced MedicationRequest.
fullfill	completed	MedicationRequest	dispenser	The requested fulfilment of the MedicationRequest is completed. The referenced MedicationRequest can now be changed to completed.

See the section on status for more details.

<br/>

Minor Workflow Requests

This is used to implement additional around an order or to record specific workflow requests. These may not have a focused resource reference. It is anticipated they are coded using SNOMED CT.

<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NHSDigital/NHSDigital-FHIR-ImplementationGuide/master/Diagams/Task-Action.PNG" width="60%"/> Examples:

Task.code	Task.focus	Task.requester	Task.owner	Task.reasonCode	Meaning
413292001 Assessment for referral	ServiceRequest	referrer	clinician	3457005 Patient Referral	Check the referenced referral is valid.
182836005 Review of medication		clinician	GP	151715009 Emergency admission, asthma	Request to review medication following an emergency admission.
103742009 Renewal of prescription	MedicationRequest	patient	GP		Request for a reissue/refill of a medication
324861000000109 Review of patient laboratory test report	DiagnosticReport	consultant			Request for a lab report to be reviewed. See also <a href="https://nhsconnect.github.io/CareConnectAPI/engage_poc_uhscc.html">UHS Lab Reports</a>

The Task.status can be used to indicate fulfilment/delivery status.

<br/>

Workflow Support

More advanced workflow is supported, this adds in the use of Task.input and Task.output. This allows the passage of inputs and outputs which may be found in automated workflow activities.

The diagram below is from an acute trusts handling of a received eRS referral request. Each process communicates via the FHIR Task, the first process takes the eRS referral and gets the referral letter from eRS, these are then passed to the clinician for triage. Once triaged, the clinician creates a book appointment Task which the admin's action.

Task.status

Short description

draft | requested | received | accepted | +

Definition

These workflow tasks have status which indicates the Task status.

The following diagram reflects the "typical" state machine for Task. Note that not all states will be supported by all workflows and that some workflows may support additional transitions, including transitions from terminal states (e.g. back to "in-progress" from "failed" or "completed").

For example:

A patient requesting a repeat prescription would ask for task with code fulfil used with 103742009 | Renewal of prescription and a status of requested.
Once reviewed (by a clinician), the task status would be changed to accepted. When the task is then picked up (in-progress) and the related MedicationRequest is sent, the status would change to completed.

Requirements

These states enable coordination of task status with off-the-shelf workflow solutions that support automation of tasks.

Comments

For EPS

Only in-progress is currently supported for reasonCode = 373784005 (Dispensing medication) and focus is a dispense-notification.

rejected / cancelled / failed are supported for reasonCode = 33633005 (Prescription of drug) and focus is a prescription-order.

** EPS Only**

This will be the Bundle.identifier of the message this Task is acting on. For Tasks with a reasonCode of 373784005 - Dispensing medication this will be a dispense-notification message. For Tasks with a reasonCode of 33633005 - Prescription of drug this will be the prescription-order message from the Task/$release operation.

"focus": {
        "type": "Bundle",
        "identifier": {

        }
    },

Requirements

Used to identify the thing to be done.

Comments

Tasks are often generated as a consequence of other workflows or relate to FHIR Workflow resources. For example a repeat medication request will be related to a previous MedicationRequest or a medication reconciliation may relate to a hospital admissions Encounter/EpisodeOfCare. This is carried in the focus element.

focus can be omitted. For example if an ED generated a Medication Review as a result of COPD Emergency encounter they may chose to include a reference to the Encounter but they may decide instead to use a more specific reasonCode such as 394720003 | Asthma medication review.

Indicates that this coding was chosen by a user directly - e.g. off a pick list of available items (codes or displays).

Requirements

This has been identified as a clinical safety criterium - that this exact system/code pair was chosen explicitly, rather than inferred by the system based on some rules or language processing.

Task

Short description

A task to be performed

Definition

FHIR Task usage and scope is defined as

A task resource describes an activity that can be performed and tracks the state of completion of that activity. It is a representation that an activity should be or has been initiated, and eventually, represents the successful or unsuccessful completion of that activity. Note that there are a variety of processes associated with making and processing orders. Some orders may be handled immediately by automated systems but most require real world actions by one or more humans. Some orders can only be processed when other real world actions happen, such as a patient presenting themselves so that the action to be performed can actually be performed. Often these real world dependencies are only implicit in the order details.

A Task resource often exists in parallel with clinical resources.

Comments

Task has three main uses:

basic delivery of an order resource (e.g. MedicationRequest or ServiceRequest)
minor workflow requests (e.g. phone patient, complete form or validate a referral)
workflow support (centred around complex workflow support and may involves a workflow engine)

Order Fulfilment

Examples:

Task.code	Task.status	Task.focus	Task.requester	Meaning
fulfill	rejected	MedicationRequest	dispenser	The dispenser is rejecting the fulfilment/deliver of a referenced MedicationRequest. The MedicationRequest is not cancelled
fullfill	cancelled	MedicationRequest	any	The requested fulfilment of the MedicationRequest is cancelled. The referenced MedicationRequest is not cancelled
fullfill	accepted	MedicationRequest	dispenser	The dispenser is taking responsibility of fulfilling the referenced MedicationRequest.
fullfill	completed	MedicationRequest	dispenser	The requested fulfilment of the MedicationRequest is completed. The referenced MedicationRequest can now be changed to completed.

See the section on status for more details.

<br/>

Minor Workflow Requests

This is used to implement additional around an order or to record specific workflow requests. These may not have a focused resource reference. It is anticipated they are coded using SNOMED CT.

<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NHSDigital/NHSDigital-FHIR-ImplementationGuide/master/Diagams/Task-Action.PNG" width="60%"/> Examples:

Task.code	Task.focus	Task.requester	Task.owner	Task.reasonCode	Meaning
413292001 Assessment for referral	ServiceRequest	referrer	clinician	3457005 Patient Referral	Check the referenced referral is valid.
182836005 Review of medication		clinician	GP	151715009 Emergency admission, asthma	Request to review medication following an emergency admission.
103742009 Renewal of prescription	MedicationRequest	patient	GP		Request for a reissue/refill of a medication
324861000000109 Review of patient laboratory test report	DiagnosticReport	consultant			Request for a lab report to be reviewed. See also <a href="https://nhsconnect.github.io/CareConnectAPI/engage_poc_uhscc.html">UHS Lab Reports</a>

The Task.status can be used to indicate fulfilment/delivery status.

<br/>

Workflow Support

More advanced workflow is supported, this adds in the use of Task.input and Task.output. This allows the passage of inputs and outputs which may be found in automated workflow activities.

Element id

Patient.active

Short description

Whether this patient's record is in active use

Definition

Whether this patient record is in active use. Many systems use this property to mark as non-current patients, such as those that have not been seen for a period of time based on an organization's business rules.

It is often used to filter patient lists to exclude inactive patients

Deceased patients may also be marked as inactive for the same reasons, but may be active for some time after death.

Requirements

Need to be able to mark a patient record as not to be used because it was created in error.

Comments

If a record is inactive, and linked to an active record, then future patient/record updates should occur on the other patient.

Meaning when missing

This resource is generally assumed to be active if no value is provided for the active element

Short description

The following values are allowed: usual, temp, nickname, old, maiden

Definition

How this name should be used.

usual - Known as, conventional or the one patient normally uses. A patient always has a usual name.
temp - An alias or temporary name. This may also be used for temporary names assigned at birth or in emergency situations.
nickname - A name that the patient prefers to be addressed by, but is not part of their usual name.
old - This name is no longer in use (or was never correct, but retained for records).
maiden - Name changed for Marriage. A name used prior to changing name because of marriage. This term is not gender specific. The use of this term does not imply any particular history for a person's name.

The following use codes are included in the name-use value set, but should not be used and is not be returned as part of a retrieval.

official - The formal name as registered in an official (government) registry, but which name might not be commonly used. May be called "legal name".
anonymous - Anonymous assigned name, alias, or pseudonym (used to protect a person's identity for privacy reasons).

Requirements

Allows the appropriate name for a particular context of use to be selected from among a set of names.

Element id

Patient.gender

Short description

male | female | other | unknown

Definition

Classification of the gender of a patient. The classification is phenotypical rather than genotypical, i.e. it does not provide codes for medical or scientific purposes. It is the administrative gender that the patient wishes to be known as. In some cases, this may not be the same as the patient’s registered birth gender, or their current clinical gender.

Requirements

Needed for identification of the individual, in combination with (at least) name and birth date.

Comments

The gender might not match the biological sex as determined by genetics or the individual's preferred identification. Note that for both humans and particularly animals, there are other legitimate possibilities than male and female, though the vast majority of systems and contexts only support male and female. Systems providing decision support or enforcing business rules should ideally do this on the basis of Observations dealing with the specific sex or gender aspect of interest (anatomical, chromosomal, social, etc.) However, because these observations are infrequently recorded, defaulting to the administrative gender is common practice. Where such defaulting occurs, rule enforcement should allow for the variation between administrative and biological, chromosomal and other gender aspects. For example, an alert about a hysterectomy on a male should be handled as a warning or overridable error, not a "hard" error. See the Patient Gender and Sex section for additional information about communicating patient gender and sex.

Definition

The date and time on which a person died or is officially deemed to have died, if applicable and known.

It is a datetime in the format yyyy-mm-ddTHH:MM:SS+HH:MM or yyyy-mm-dd. Due to data quality issues on a small number of patients yyyy-mm and yyyy format may also be returned.

When a patient tagged as very restricted is retrieved, death date is removed from the response.

Requirements

The fact that a patient is deceased influences the clinical process. Also, in human communication and relation management it is necessary to know whether the person is alive.

Comments

If there's no value in the instance, it means there is no statement on whether or not the individual is deceased. Most systems will interpret the absence of a value as a sign of the person being alive.

Element id

Patient.address.use

Short description

The following values are allowed: home, work, temp, billing

Definition

Purpose of this address:

home - the home address is the patient's normal residence. Home address is also known as usual, main, registered, current or permanent address
temp - a temporary address is an address used for a set period of time, but where the patient's home, permanent address remains unchanged
billing - an address used for correspondence purposes only
work - an office address. This can be returned due to legacy data but cannot be added or replaced on update

A patient should have no more than one current temp and/or billing address. However, historically this was constrained only by the integration requirements and was not enforced so theoretically more than one can exist for a patient when retrieving. Where multiple instances already exist for the patient it is not expected that local systems should manage those, but should choose the most appropriate one to maintain (e.g. by examining period dates).

A home address is the patient's main residential address and should normally be used for all clinical and demographic purposes, including clinical and appointment correspondence. However additionally, temp and billing addresses may be provided by a patient when there is a requirement to record an alternative location for the purposes of unbroken care. When sending correspondence to a patient:

a present and valid billing address may take precedence over home and temp addresses. A patient should have only a single current billing address. An address is considered 'valid' according to its period start and end dates.
if no current billing address is provided, a temp address may take precedence over the home address, again if it is valid according to its period start and end dates.
if there is no valid, current billing and/or temp address, the home address must be used.

Requirements

Allows an appropriate address to be chosen from a list of many.

Comments

Applications can assume that an address is current unless it explicitly says that it is temporary or old.

Data type

Definition

Distinguishes between physical addresses (those you can visit) and mailing addresses (e.g. PO Boxes and care-of addresses). Most addresses are both.

Comments

The definition of Address states that "address is intended to describe postal addresses, not physical locations". However, many applications track whether an address has a dual purpose of being a location that can be visited as well as being a valid delivery destination, and Postal addresses are often used as proxies for physical locations (also see the Location resource).

If a patient does not speak the local language, interpreters may be required, so languages spoken and proficiency are important things to keep track of both for patient and other persons of interest.

Comments

If no language is specified, this implies that the default local language is spoken. If you need to convey proficiency for multiple modes, then you need multiple Patient.Communication associations. For animals, language is not a relevant field, and should be absent from the instance.

Definition

A ValueSet that identifies the language used by a person.

Requirements

Most systems in multilingual countries will want to convey language. Not all systems actually need the regional dialect.

Comments

The structure aa-BB with this exact casing is one the most widely used notations for locale. However not all systems actually code this but instead have it as free text. Hence CodeableConcept instead of code as the data type.

Requirements

GP Surgery SHOULD be provided. It is recommended the patients GP Surgery is the first item in the array and branch surgery is second. It is also suggested type and display (name of practice) is also included.

Comments

This may be the primary care provider (in a GP context), or it may be a patient nominated care manager in a community/disability setting, or even organization that will provide people to perform the care provider roles. It is not to be used to record Care Teams, these should be in a CareTeam resource that may be linked to the CarePlan or EpisodeOfCare resources. Multiple GPs may be recorded against the patient for various reasons, such as a student that has his home GP listed along with the GP at university during the school semesters, or a "fly-in/fly-out" worker that has the onsite GP also included with his home GP to remain aware of medical issues.

Jurisdictions may decide that they can profile this down to 1 if desired, or 1 per type.

Element id

Patient.address.use

Short description

The following values are allowed: home, work, temp, billing

Definition

Purpose of this address:

home - the home address is the patient's normal residence. Home address is also known as usual, main, registered, current or permanent address
temp - a temporary address is an address used for a set period of time, but where the patient's home, permanent address remains unchanged
billing - an address used for correspondence purposes only
work - an office address. This can be returned due to legacy data but cannot be added or replaced on update

a present and valid billing address may take precedence over home and temp addresses. A patient should have only a single current billing address. An address is considered 'valid' according to its period start and end dates.
if no current billing address is provided, a temp address may take precedence over the home address, again if it is valid according to its period start and end dates.
if there is no valid, current billing and/or temp address, the home address must be used.

Requirements

Allows an appropriate address to be chosen from a list of many.

Short description

The namespace for the identifier value

Definition

Establishes the namespace for the value - that is, a URL that describes a set values that are unique.

Requirements

There are many sets of identifiers. To perform matching of two identifiers, we need to know what set we're dealing with. The system identifies a particular set of unique identifiers.

https://fhir.nhs.uk/Id/sds-role-profile-id	1.2.826.0.1285.0.2.0.67		12 digits	SDS Role Profile Code	No	No

The SDS Role Profile Code should be sourced from NHS Identity (SmartCard), this is also held within the Spine Directory Service LDAP database.

Holds NHS BSA spurious codes which are role specific Doctor Index Number (DIN)) codes. NHS BSA spurious codes are issued when a doctor issues medication outside of their normal role, normally at another organisation. In the example below, the doctor is working in a secondary role (with SDS Role Id of 100102238986), as this a has a spurious code of 2345213. If the doctor was prescribing in their primary role this spurious code would be absent.

SHOULD be provided for a practitioner in secondary care and will be a reference to clinic or service. This referenced resource or the identifier reference SHOULD contain a ODS/ANANA identifier. In secondary care Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) this will also be called prescribing cost centre. This is used for reimbursements from NHS BSA. In secondary care the healthchare/service cost centre may also be the ODS code for the clinic.

healthcareService Resource reference

An identifier reference MUST be included. For secondary care organisations this will be the ODS/ANANA Cost Centre code given to a clinic.

"healthcareService":  
    [
         {

Implementation Guidance

The NHSDigital-PractitionerRole resource must be provided by prescribing systems within the prescription-order and prescription-order-update message. It will be consumed by dispensing systems.

FHIR Element	EPS Usage
identifier	The user's `sds-user-role-id` obtained during the process of user authentication. Use the `system` of `https://fhir.nhs.uk/Id/sds-role-profile-id`.
code	The user's `SDS-JobRoleCode` obtained during the process of user authentication. Use the `system` of `https://fhir.hl7.org.uk/CodeSystem/UKCore-SDSJobRoleName`.
practitioner	Either a reference to an NHSDigital-Practitioner resource, or the practitioner by an identifier. When used within the `NHSDigital-MedicationRequest` the complete `Practitioner` resource is required. When used within the `NHSDigital-MedicationDispense` and `NHSDigital-Claim` the `Practitioner` can be referenced by identifier, and `practitioner.display` is required and must be the practitioner's full name.
organization	A reference to an NHSDigital-Organization resource.
telecom	A valid telephone number for the user when operating in this role.

Example

When referencing complete Practitioner and Organization resources.

Format

N = any number
A = any alpha

(*) NHS Prescription Services systems require these prescriber codes to be 8 characters long. Additional zeroes (0) should be inserted immediately following the first 2 alpha characters to extend the code to 8 characters as necessary.

The Doctor Index Number (DIN) will be present in the resource even if they are prescribing using a different prescribing code. This code is called the spurious code is held within the NHSDigital-PractitionerRole resource and MUST NOT be contained in the Practitioner resource.

In the example below, the practitioner (GP as they have a GMP Code) has a SDS User Id of 3415870201, GMP code of G1234567 and DIN code of 123456. If the GP was in a role, prescribing using a spurious code this would be found in the PractitionerRole.

}

Professional Code System (Unspecified/Unknown System)

In cases where the profession code is present but it is not certain what type of code this is, the https://fhir.hl7.org.uk/Id/professional-code system should be used. It is also used for backwards compatibilty with EPS HL7 v3 ODS/NACS Practitioner Identifiers. This system may include codes from different codes and this may lead to identfication issues, for example GPhC and GMC Reference Number have the same format (7 digits), if one of these is receieved it is not known if this is a doctor and or a pharmacist.

E.g. in the example below, 2134567 is probably a GMC Reference Number but we are not certain.

{
  "resourceType": "Practitioner",
  ...
  "identifier": [
          {
            "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/Id/sds-user-id",
            "value": "1415870201"

ODS/NACS Practitioner Code (retired)

Definition

A legacy system to support conversion of NPfIT/v3 CodeSysem to FHIR. This should not be used on new implementations. More accurate systems such as https://fhir.hl7.org.uk/Id/gmp-number and https://fhir.hl7.org.uk/Id/gmc-number

Although this system was intended to only be ODS/NACS Practitioner Identifiers, it has been used as a general purpose system. Therefore the codes can't be trusted e.g. 1234567 could be referring to a GPhC (pharmacist) or GMC Reference Number (doctor). These codes on their won should not be considered safe for the purposes of Practitioner identification.

SHOULD contain a professional code.

The inclusion of a professional code is strongly recommended. For consultants and doctors a prescribing code should be present. Please see NHS Data Model and Dictionary for details on these code.

The SDS User Id should be sourced from NHS Identity (SmartCard), this is also held within the Spine Directory Service LDAP database.

In the example below, the practitioner (Consultant as they have a GMC Code) has a SDS User Id of 1415870201, GMC code of C2134567.

The relevant identifier as required by the NHS BSA for prescription processing such as the Doctor's Index Number (DIN) or General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) Code. Refer to the profile definition above for the code system and format for each identifier. Refer to NHS BSA documentation for the use of each identifier.

Example

"identifier": [
    {
        "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/Id/sds-user-id",
        "value": "555086689106"

This active flag is not intended to be used to mark an organization as temporarily closed or under construction. Instead the Location(s) within the Organization should have the suspended status. If further details of the reason for the suspension are required, then an extension on this element should be used.

Requirements

Need to be able to track the kind of organization that this is - different organization types have different uses.

Comments

Organizations can be corporations, wards, sections, clinical teams, government departments, etc. Note that code is generally a classifier of the type of organization; in many applications, codes are used to identity a particular organization (say, ward) as opposed to another of the same type - these are identifiers, not codes

When considering if multiple types are appropriate, you should evaluate if child organizations would be a more appropriate use of the concept, as different types likely are in different sub-areas of the organization. This is most likely to be used where type values have orthogonal values, such as a religious, academic and medical center.

We expect that some jurisdictions will profile this optionality to be a single cardinality.

Establishes the namespace for the value - that is, a URL that describes a set values that are unique.

Requirements

There are many sets of identifiers. To perform matching of two identifiers, we need to know what set we're dealing with. The system identifies a particular set of unique identifiers.

Comments

Identifier.system is always case sensitive.

Element id

Organization.endpoint.identifier.use

Short description

usual | official | temp | secondary | old (If known)

Definition

The purpose of this identifier.

Requirements

Allows the appropriate identifier for a particular context of use to be selected from among a set of identifiers.

Comments

Applications can assume that an identifier is permanent unless it explicitly says that it is temporary.

Data type

Binding

Identifies the purpose for this identifier, if known .

Definition

A coded type for the identifier that can be used to determine which identifier to use for a specific purpose.

Requirements

Allows users to make use of identifiers when the identifier system is not known.

There are no (further) constraints on this element

Element id

Organization.endpoint.identifier.system

Short description

The namespace for the identifier value

Definition

Establishes the namespace for the value - that is, a URL that describes a set values that are unique.

Requirements

There are many sets of identifiers. To perform matching of two identifiers, we need to know what set we're dealing with. The system identifies a particular set of unique identifiers.

Comments

Identifier.system is always case sensitive.
