This subset contains concepts that represent a health condition, sign, symptom, event, situation with explicit context or procedure for which a medication is or was prescribed to manage, improve, treat or prevent.. This is a broad data exchange subset that is intended to support semantic interoperability and conformance testing. It is recommended that jurisdictions define and implement more specific clinically curated subsets that contain a portion of these concepts for data capture at the point of care for their specific use case.
