UK Core Implementation Guide 1.0.0 - STU1 Pre-release

StructureDefinition-UKCore-MedicationAdministration

This UK Core profile is a restraint on the International FHIR resource MedicationAdministration, and defines the constraints, extensions, and minimal set of data to query and retrieve medication administration information.

Profile Purpose

The purpose of this profile is to describe the event of a patient consuming or otherwise being administered a medication. This may be as simple as swallowing a tablet or it may be a long running infusion. Related resources tie this event to the authorising prescription, and the specific encounter between patient and health care practitioner.

Examples

Timoptol Eye Drops - An example to illustrate a medication administration of eye drops.
Example UKCore-MedicationAdministration-TimoptolEyeDrops

Example Usage Scenarios

The following are example usage scenarios for the UK Core Medication Administration profile:

  • to record and/or share inpatient or outpatient non-immunisation administrations. For immunisations use the Profile UKCore-Immunization resource.
  • to record and/or share patient self-administration of medication.
  • to record and/or share home-health reporting from medicines administration and monitoring devices.

Profile Specific Implementation Guidance:

Minimum Viable Content

A minimum viable content that all provider and consumer systems SHOULD support are the following elements.

Element Reason
identifier Allow the resource to be referenced within/by other resources
status Mandatory element
statusReason Expand on the intent of the status
medication[x] Mandatory element
subject Mandatory element
effective[x] Mandatory element
dosage The dosage instruction for the administered medication

partOf

Part of referenced event by reference. The resource being referenced SHOULD conform to the one of the following:


status

It is expected that most implementations will require the use of status to support workflow.

The status can be used to determine the overall status of medication administration events.

It is recommended that the status is used to indicate the status at a high-level so that integrated systems can determine how to represent this information.

Status FHIR Definition Implementation Guidance
in-progress The administration has started but has not yet completed.
not-done The administration was terminated prior to any impact on the subject (though preparatory actions may have been taken)
on-hold Actions implied by the administration have been temporarily halted, but are expected to continue later. May also be called 'suspended'.
completed All actions that are implied by the administration have occurred. This would be a suitable trigger to share the medication administration event with shared records.
entered-in-error The administration was entered in error and therefore nullified.
stopped Actions implied by the administration have been permanently halted, before all of them occurred. A statusReason SHOULD be populated with a coded reason for stopping the medication administration.
unknown The authoring system does not know which of the status values currently applies for this request. Note: This concept is not to be used for 'other' - one of the statuses listed is presumed to apply, it's just not known which one. The patient may have had some encounter with this medication, but the current status is unknown. Avoid the use of this status value where possible.

statusReason

A coded reason for why an administration was not performed.

SHOULD only be populated when the status is either stopped, not-done or on-hold.


medication[x]

Medication WITH dm+d code

Where a dm+d code exists it SHALL be used either as medicationCodeableConcept.coding or as medicationReference.Medication.code.

Where CodeableConcept is used, CodeableConcept.coding is the dm+d code and CodeableConcept.text is dm+d concept name/description.

Can be either a dm+d code as a CodeableConcept or reference to a Profile UKCore-Medication.

Using a CodeableConcept is preferred unless additional data is required that would be contained within a Profile UKCore-Medication.

The elements medication.CodeableConcept.coding and medicationReference.Medication.code are both bound to ValueSet UKCore-MedicationCode

Examples where a reference to a Profile UKCore-Medication would be applicable include:

  • Record a VTM with a specific form
  • Record manufacturer with a concept as described in ValueSet UKCore-MedicationCode
  • Record batch number
  • Record ingredients (for example with a magisterial prescription or an excipient).

Medication WITHOUT dm+d code

Medication not published within the dm+d may be requested in the Acute care setting.

In this scenario it is recommended to use the CodeableConcept variant for this element.

If the prescribing system has both a locally assigned code and description for the medication then;

  • The CodeableConcept.text SHOULD be the description for the medication.
  • The CodeableConcept.coding.code SHOULD be the code for the medication.
  • The CodeableConcept.coding.display SHOULD be the description for the medication, i.e. the same value as CodeableConcept.text.

If the prescribing system only has a description for the medication then;

  • The CodeableConcept.text SHOULD be the locally assigned description for the medication.

subject

A reference to the patient.

Within a FHIR Messaging or FHIR Document implementation, include a Profile UKCore-Patient resource within the Bundle with at least the minimum dataset populated as defined within the UK Core standard. The reference points to the resource in the Bundle.

Within a RESTful implementation a reference and/or identifier SHALL be provided that allows the consumer system to query another API if they need to access the complete Profile UKCore-Patient resource.

For implementations within England and Wales, the identifier could be the patient's NHS Number, allowing a consumer systems to use the NHS Digital Personal Demographics Service FHIR API to return a Patient resource.

For implementations within Scotland, the identifier could be the patient's CHI Number.


dosage

Consider aligning to the Implementation Guide for Digital Medicines, but as a minimum, dosage.text.
