UK Core Implementation Guide 0.4.0 - STU1

StructureDefinition-UKCore-MedicationStatement

Defines the UK Core constraints and extensions on the MedicationStatement resource for the minimal set of data to query and retrieve medication statement information.

Profile Purpose

This profile allows exchange of a record of a medication that is being consumed by a patient. A MedicationStatement may indicate that the individual may be taking the medication now or has taken the medication in the past or will be taking the medication in the future. The source of this information can be the individual, significant other (such as a family member or spouse), or a clinician.

Examples

Amoxicillin - An example to illustrate a medication statement of Amoxicillin.
Example UKCore-MedicationStatement-Amoxicillin

Example Usage Scenarios

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

  • Query and retrieve a patient current medication
  • Record or update a patients current medication.

Minimum Viable Content

A minimum viable content that all provider and consumer systems should support is the following elements.

Element Reason
identifer To allow the resource to be referenced within/by other resources
basedOn To reference to a MedicationRequest resource, where applicable
status Mandatory element
statusReason To expand on the intent of the status
medication[x] Mandatory element
subject Mandatory element
effective[x] To timestamp the statement
dateAsserted To timestamp the statement assertion
informationSource To identify the source of the information
derivedFrom To reference other resources, where applicable
dosageInstruction For the dosage instruction for the statement

Context For Provider Systems

Providers systems should view elements listed as part of the minimum viable dataset in the same way as FHIR Must Support elements. Where the data is available, the provider system should include this data within the resource. Additional elements populated may be ignored by consumer systems.

Context For Consumer Systems

Consumer systems should expect the elements listed as part of the minimum viable dataset to be populated, with business data that should be relevant for the processing of the resource. Additional elements may not be populated by provider systems.


extension: pharmacistVerifiedIndicator

More information on this extension can be found using the link below.

Extension UKCore-PharmacistVerifiedIndicator.


extension: medicationPrescribingOrganization

An extension to identify if the medication was prescribed-at-gp-practice or prescribed-by-another-organisation.

This extension is likely only to be populated by GP systems.

More information on this extension can be found using the link below.

Extension UKCore-MedicationPrescribingOrganization.


extension: medicationStatementLastIssueDate

An extension for the date or datetime that the medication described in the MedicationStatement was last requested/prescribed.

The presence of this data does not imply medication has been dispensed or supplied to the patient.

More information on this extension can be found using the link below.

Extension UKCore-MedicationStatementLastissueDate.


identifier

This should be populated with a globally unique and persistent identifier (that is, it doesn’t change between requests and therefore stored with the source data). This should be scoped by a provider specific namespace for the identifier.

Where consuming systems are integrating data from this resource to their local system, they should persist this identifier at the same time.


basedOn

This element should normally be used to link to a MedicationRequest which authorised the medication.

This element could potentially reference all medication requests relating to the medication or relevant instances of CarePlan or ServiceRequest.

This should not be confused with MedicationStatement.derivedFrom which should only be used to reference information that can’t be referenced here.

The resource being referencedused should conform to one of the following:


partOf

This should not be used as the use-case and purpose is ambiguous.


status

Status FHIR Definition Recommendation
active The medication is still being taken. It is believed the medication is active in the patients system.
completed The medication is no longer being taken. A course of medication has been completed and the medication is not active in the patients system.
entered-in-error The statement was recorded incorrectly. Indicates the MedicationStatement is INVALID. It is not expected that a MedicationStatement with this status to be included in exchanges.
intended The medication may be taken at some time in the future. It is intended that the medication will be given to the patient. When this is used effective[x] MUST indicate when it is intended that the medication to be taken.
stopped Actions implied by the statement have been permanently halted, before all of them occurred. Medication has been stopped before the completion of the prescribed course and there is no plan to restart it. When used the reason MUST be indicated in statusReason.
on-hold Actions implied by the statement have been temporarily halted, but are expected to continue later. May also be called "suspended". Medication has been temporarily stopped.
When used the reason MUST be indicated in statusReason.
Where it is known when it is indented to restart it this may be indicated in statusReason.
unknown The state of the medication use is not currently known. 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.
not-taken The medication was not consumed by the patient Use this when there is certainty that the patient has not consumed any of the intended medication. Additional implementation guidance is pending for cases when a patient spits out medicine or vomits after taking medicine. Some medication may still have been consumed and is therefore active in the body.

A MedicationStatement represents a snapshot in time of a patient medication - and if the status has not been provided, then the following business rule may apply to compute the state.

Status How it can be determined
active A completed MedicationRequest (if known) where the current date is between the dispenseRequest.validityPeriod element. The MedicationStatement.effectivePeriod element should reflect this information.
or
Where the current date is between the MedicationStatement.effectivePeriod
completed Where the current date is after the MedicationStatement.effectivePeriod
or
A completed MedicationRequest (if known) where the dispenseRequest element is either not defined, or the current date is greater than the dispenseRequest.validityPeriod.

statusReason

A required element used to expand on the intent for the status of the MedicationStatement.

An example use-case for this could be if an organisation sets a medication status to stopped with the intent to restart the medication at some point (move back to active).


category

The value set has been extended with leave and discharge to align with the equivlant value set used by medicationRequest.


medication[x]

When only a MedicationRequest is known

Rule: Use the medication defined within the basedOn (MedicationRequest).

When only a MedicationDispense is known

Rule: Use the medication defined within the partOf (MedicationDispense).

When both the MedicationRequest and MedicationDispense are known

Rule: Where different dm+d concepts are used within the basedOn (MedicationRequest) and partOf (MedicationDispense) use the medication defined within the partOf (MedicationDispense).

The dispensing record will be the most specific and accurate for what will be given to the patient.

Also note that the dosageInstruction within a MedicationDispense may differ from that stated in the MedicationRequest. The pharmacy team may have applied their own dosage instruction to make it more suitable for a medicines administration label.

When both the MedicationRequest or MedicationDispense are not known

Rule: Use the medication information available within the source clinical system.

Populating the Element

Where a dm+d code exists it MUST be used either as CodeableConcept.coding or as Medication.Medication.code.

Where CodeableConcept is used, CodeableConcept.coding is the dm+d code and CodeableConcept.text is dm+d concept name/description. Where no dm+d code is available the drug name can be provided as text within the CodeableConcept.text

Can be either a dm+d code as a CodeableConcept or reference to UK Core Medication resource. Using a CodeableConcept is preferred unless additional data if required that would be contained within a UK Core Medication resource.

Examples where a reference to a UK Core Medication would be applicable include:

  • Record a VTM with a specific form
  • Record manufacturer with a VTM, VMP or VMP concept
  • Record batch number
  • Record ingredients (for example with a magisterial prescription or an excipient).

The resource being referenced should conform to the Profile UKCore-Medication.


subject

A reference to the patient. Note: FHIR also allows a reference to Group

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.

JSON

// within the MedicationStatement resource...

  "subject": {
    "reference": "urn:patient-011223344",
    "display": "Richard Smith"
  }

// elsewhere in the Bundle...

  {
    "fullUrl": "urn:patient-011223344",
    "resource": {
      "resourceType": "Patient",
      "id": "urn:patient-011223344",
      "identifier": {
        "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/Id/nhs-number",
        "value": "9912003888"
      },
      "name": {
        "use": "official",
        "text": "Mr Richard Smith",
        "family": "Smith",
        "given": "Richard",
        "prefix": "Mr"
      },
      "gender": "male",
      "birthDate": "1956-02-04"
    }
  }

Within a RESTful implemementation a reference and/or identifier MUST be provided that allows the consumer system to query another API if they need to access the complete Profile UKCore-Patient resource. The reference points to the resource in the Bundle.

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

JSON

{
  "subject": {
    "reference": "urn:patient-011223344",
    "display": "Richard Smith",
    "identifier": {
      "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/Id/nhs-number",
      "value": "9912003888"
    }
  }
}

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

JSON

{
  "subject": {
    "reference": "urn:patient-011223344",
    "display": "Richard Smith",
    "identifier": {
      "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/Id/nhs-number",
      "value": "9912003888"
    }
  }
}


context

Encounter / Episode associated with MedicationStatement by a reference. The resource being referenced should conform to either:

It is unlikely that the population of this element would be useful to consumer systems.

effective[x]

Mandatory when the status is intended.

The use of effectivePeriod is preferred over effectiveDateTime.

The start date should be when the medication started in the episode of care. Where the end date is unknown it may be omitted.

The dateTime format allows various degrees of date resolution; year, year/month and exact date so an approximate date can be used when the exact date is not known.


dateAsserted

The date and time when the MedicationStatement was created from other data.


informationSource

Referencing an organization is likely to be more useful than a person. Individuals work patterns and/or employer may change while the care setting organisation is likely to be more static and relevant within historic instances of this resource.

When referencing an organisation - the following must be provided:

  • Organization.contact.name
  • Organization.contact.telecom
  • Organisation.identifier.odsOrganizationCode or Organization.identifier.odsSiteCode

Where the organisation is an Acute Trust, an ODS Site Code may be more useful than the parent Trust-wide ODS organisation code.

The full list of allowable references are listed below and the resource being referenced should conform to one of the following:


derivedFrom

Optional.Additional Information by reference to any FHIR resource where a UK Core profile exists the resource being referenced should conform to the profile.

This should be used only to reference information that can not be referenced by MedicationStatement.basedOn.


reasonCode

The indication(s) for the medicine as a CodableConcept.


reasonReference

A condition or observation that supports why the medication is being/was taken by reference. The resource being referenced should conform to one of the following:


note

If present, notes must be displayed by consuming systems.

Where author is known and to be shared, the use of authorReference is preferred over using a free-text version authorString.


dosage

Preferable as a structured dosage aligned to the FHIR Dose Syntax Guidance but as a minimum, dosage.text.

Where a structured dosage is provided, populate dosage.text with a human readable dosage string that is clinically equivilant to the coded dosage instruction. This is for interoperability with consuming systems that do not yet support fully structured dosing instructions.
