Dispensing Event: Prepared by Pharmacy

If the infusion is to be prepared by the hospital pharamcy team.

This Bundle is created by the pharmacy system for what has been dispensed. A bundle is used in this example because it contains two resources. A Medication resource details the two ingredients that have been used to prepare the infusion. A MedicationDispense references the Medication and details the dosing instruction for the infusion. This bundle would be made available to the ward EPMA system.

Bundle

Dispensing Event: Prepared by Ward

If the infusion is to be prepared by the hospital ward team.

This Bundle is created by the pharmacy system for what has been dispensed. A bundle is used in this example because it contains two MedicationDispense resources. The first is for the Ceftriaxone powder. The second is for the Sodium chloride diluent. This bundle would be made available to the ward EPMA system. The infusion would be prepared on the ward.
