Implementation guide for interoperable medicines

This guidance is under active development by NHS England and content may be added or updated on a regular basis.

Dosage Examples - Fully coded

To illustrate how the FHIR Dosage structure should be used using 29 clinically verified examples using fully coded data. Where appropriate, examples have been modelled as both product-based and dose-based instructions. All examples are based on the MedicationRequest resource but equally could apply to MedicationDispense and MedicationStatement.

Note: All dosageInstruction.text element values have been constructed using the dose to text translation algorithm from within this guide.

Aspirin dispersible tablets

Product-based VMP prescription using a coded additional instruction.

Example on-screen presentation:

Aspirin 300mg dispersible tablets
2 tablet - 4 times a day - at a meal - Dissolve or mix with water before taking - up to a maximum of 3.6 gram in 24 hours

Aspirin suppository

Dose-based VTM prescription with maximum dose.
IMPORTANT: This example cannot use the simple medicationCodeableConcept element. The VTM medication needs to be qualified with a form. This example uses a contained resource which would be suitable for a RESTful implementation. When using a FHIR Messaging implementation the instance of the Medication resource as another resource within the Bundle.

Ibuprofen
400 milligram - 4 times a day - at a meal - oral

Insulin lispro subcutaneous injection

Product-based instruction using an AMP. Uses a doseQuantity expressed as a number of Unit. The SNOMED-CT definition of this product contains an attribute for Has unit of administration (attribute) linked to Unit (qualifier value). This relationship is not contained within dm+d data therefore the medicationCodeableConcept.coding.system is "http://snomed.info/sct" instead of "https://dmd.nhs.uk".

Note: This representation using a doseQuantity as a number Units should only be used where the consumer system(s) are known to support it. This is opposed to those systems that expect all units of measure to be based on dm+d data such a GP and community pharmacy systems.

IMPORTANT: This example cannot use the simple medicationCodeableConcept element. The VTM medication needs to be qualified with a form. This example uses a contained resource which would be suitable for a RESTful implementation. When using a FHIR Messaging implementation the instance of the Medication resource as another resource within the Bundle.

Dose-based instruction using a VTM.
IMPORTANT: This example cannot use the simple medicationCodeableConcept element. The VTM medication needs to be qualified with a form. This example uses a contained resource which would be suitable for a RESTful implementation. When using a FHIR Messaging implementation the instance of the Medication resource as another resource within the Bundle.

Insert 1 enema - Rectal - take once

Dose-based VTM prescription where the quantity of 'Sodium citrate' is defined together with the route. Such medication would typically be prescribed by product (VMP or AMP), as per the above example.
IMPORTANT: This example cannot use the simple medicationCodeableConcept element. The VTM medication needs to be qualified with a form. This example uses a contained resource which would be suitable for a RESTful implementation. When using a FHIR Messaging implementation the instance of the Medication resource as another resource within the Bundle.

Example on-screen presentation:

Trimethoprim
200 milligram - twice a day - oral - for 3 days

Voluven infusion

Product-based AMP prescription. Route method, dose duration, and dose expressed a rate ratio.

Note: The rateRatio could also be modelled using a UCUM unit within a doseQuantity. In this example we are using the slightly more complex rateRatio structure.

e.g.

<doseAndRate>
  <doseQuantity>
    <value value="30"/>
    <unit value="millilitres per kilogram"/>
    <system value="http://unitsofmeasure.org"/>
    <code value="ml/kg"/>
  </doseQuantity>
