UK Core Implementation Guide STU3 Sequence - Sprint 6 Review

supportingInformation

Where a UK Core profile exists, the resource being referenced SHOULD conform to the profile.

Some examples of use include:

  • Reference an Observation resource to share data like the patient’s height and weight.
  • Reference a Condition resource to share a patient’s condition if this influences the pharmacy dispensing process. For example; 105502003 Dependence on renal dialysis (finding) or 46177005 End stage renal disease (disorder) would justify an unusual dosage on a prescription.
  • Reference an AllergyIntolerance resource to share a patient’s allergy to make it clear why certain medication is being requested. For example, a Penicillin allergy.
  • Reference a CarePlan resource where medication dispensing is considered as part of a specific treatment regimen. For example, care plans for stroke patients.
