An order or request for both supply of the medication and the instructions for administration of the medication to a patient. The resource is called "MedicationRequest" rather than "MedicationPrescription" or "MedicationOrder" to generalize the use across inpatient and outpatient settings, including care plans, etc., and to harmonize with workflow patterns.

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

This StopType modifier extension works differently than the .status element of resources because it has a different meaning. The .status element usually represents the status of the resource at the moment of exchanging the resource. This means that over the lifetime of a resource, the status may change (and is very much related to use period). That – in itself – makes solely mapping StopType (which may never change in an instance) to .status not suitable.

For example: suppose you want the patient to stop taking medication definitively three days from today. This is a stop medication agreement with a StopType of definitive. However today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow the .status of this medication agreement is active and only after the end date of the usage period the .status should be stopped. Status and StopType are simply not the same thing.

A code specifying the current state of the order. Generally, this will be active or completed state.

This element is implictly mapped to the zib concept NL-CM:9.6.19936 (PeriodOfUse) and the concept mp-dataelement9x-88 (MedicationAgreementStopType). Unless the status is explicitly recorded, the following guidance applies:

• When the value of PeriodOfUse.startDateTime is in the future, .status will usually be set to active.
• When the value of PeriodOfUse.startDateTime is in the past and PeriodOfUse.endDateTime exists and its value is in the future, .status will usually be set to active.
• When PeriodOfUse.endDateTime exists and its value is in the past and MedicationAgreementStopType has no value, .status will usually be set to completed.
• When PeriodOfUse.endDateTime exists and its value is in the past and MedicationAgreementStopType is 385655000, .status will usually be set to on-hold.
• When PeriodOfUse.endDateTime exists and its value is in the past, and the value of MedicationAgreementStopType is 410546004, .status will usually be set to stopped.
• When the value of PeriodOfUse.startDateTime is in the future, the value of PeriodOfUse.endDateTime equals the value of PeriodOfUse.startDateTime and the value of MedicationAgreementStopType is 89925002, .status will usually be set to cancelled.
• When PeriodOfUse.Duration and PeriodOfUse.startDateTime are known, PeriodOfUse.endDateTime can be deduced and the previous rules apply.
• When a system is unable to infer the status, .status will be set to unknown. The unknown code is not to be used to convey other statuses. The unknown code should be used when one of the statuses applies, but the authoring system doesn't know the current state of the MedicationAgreement.

A coded concept specifying the state of the prescribing event. Describes the lifecycle of the prescription.

Unless .intent is explicitly recorded and a more appropriate code is known, the value can be set to order because a MedicationAgreement should authorize an action for a patient, pharmacist, professional administrator et cetera.

It is expected that the type of requester will be restricted for different stages of a MedicationRequest. For example, Proposals can be created by a patient, relatedPerson, Practitioner or Device. Plans can be created by Practitioners, Patients, RelatedPersons and Devices. Original orders can be created by a Practitioner only.

An instance-order is an instantiation of a request or order and may be used to populate Medication Administration Record.

This element is labeled as a modifier because the intent alters when and how the resource is actually applicable.

The kind of medication order.

Indicates the type of medication request (for example, where the medication is expected to be consumed or administered (i.e. inpatient or outpatient)).

The category can be used to include where the medication is expected to be consumed or other types of requests.

A coded concept identifying the category of medication request. For example, where the medication is to be consumed or administered, or the type of medication treatment.

Indicates the type of medication request (for example, where the medication is expected to be consumed or administered (i.e. inpatient or outpatient)).

The category can be used to include where the medication is expected to be consumed or other types of requests.

A coded concept identifying the category of medication request. For example, where the medication is to be consumed or administered, or the type of medication treatment.

If true indicates that the provider is asking for the medication request not to occur.

If do not perform is not specified, the request is a positive request e.g. "do perform".

Indicates if this record was captured as a secondary 'reported' record rather than as an original primary source-of-truth record. It may also indicate the source of the report.

An indication whether the resource is original (false) or a copy from a different source (true).

Identifies the medication being requested. This is a link to a resource that represents the medication which may be the details of the medication or simply an attribute carrying a code that identifies the medication from a known list of medications.

If only a code is specified, then it needs to be a code for a specific product. If more information is required, then the use of the Medication resource is recommended. For example, if you require form or lot number or if the medication is compounded or extemporaneously prepared, then you must reference the Medication resource.

A coded concept identifying substance or product that can be ordered.

The medicine agreed upon to be used.

If only a code is specified, then it needs to be a code for a specific product. If more information is required, then the use of the Medication resource is recommended. For example, if you require form or lot number or if the medication is compounded or extemporaneously prepared, then you must reference the Medication resource.

A link to a resource representing the person or set of individuals to whom the medication will be given.

The subject on a medication request is mandatory. For the secondary use case where the actual subject is not provided, there still must be an anonymized subject specified.

Reason for modification or discontinuation of the medication agreement.

This could be a diagnosis code. If a full condition record exists or additional detail is needed, use reasonReference.

A coded concept indicating why the medication was ordered.

The medical reason for the prescription or for use of the medication. This can be used to enter a medical indication which was the direct cause for prescription or for use of the medication in question. It can concern every type of problem (or condition) of the patient, almost all diagnoses, complaints or symptoms. Please note: The BST401T file of the G standard contains a “special reference” to indicate that “exchange of the reason for prescription is essential”.

This is a reference to a condition or observation that is the reason for the medication order. If only a code exists, use reasonCode.

Extra information about the prescription that could not be conveyed by the other attributes.

Comments regarding to the medication agreement. For example: in consultation with the medical specialist.

An order or request for both supply of the medication and the instructions for administration of the medication to a patient. The resource is called "MedicationRequest" rather than "MedicationPrescription" or "MedicationOrder" to generalize the use across inpatient and outpatient settings, including care plans, etc., and to harmonize with workflow patterns.

The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.

The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation.

The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

The base language in which the resource is written.

Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute).

A human language.

A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.

Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added later.

These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.

This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags In their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels.

Additional information includes details on the structure of the agreement made that are relevant for pharmacovigilance and fulfillment by the pharmacist. This can be used e.g. to indicate that there was a conscious decision to deviate from the norm or that the agreement is to be structured in a certain way.

Start date: This is the time at which the agreement was to take effect (or took effect or will take effect). This is the time at which the instructions for use in this agreement start. In the case of an agreement to discontinue use, this is the start date of the original medication agreement. The end date indicates from when the medication is to be discontinued.

Duration: The intended duration of use. E.g. 5 days or 8 weeks. It is not allowed to indicate the duration in months, because different months have a variable duration in days.

End date: The time at which the period of use ends (or ended or will end). In the case of an agreement to discontinue use, this is the time at which the medication is to be discontinued. To avoid confusion between 'to' and 'up to', the submission of time is always mandatory for the end date.

With medication for an indefinite period only a start date is indicated.

A Period specifies a range of time; the context of use will specify whether the entire range applies (e.g. "the patient was an inpatient of the hospital for this time range") or one value from the range applies (e.g. "give to the patient between these two times").

Period is not used for a duration (a measure of elapsed time). See Duration.

Element to indicate that the start or end date is uncertain.

In certain situations the start or end date can depend on another piece of information. This is, for example, the case when a patient has to start or stop medication a few days before hospital admission. In that case this element is used to indicate (in free text): ‘start X days before hospital admission’ or ‘stop X days before hospital admission’. By doing this, it is clear that the entered start or end date is uncertain when the MedicationAgreement is being exchanged.

The start date and time of the interval.

If the low element is missing, the meaning is that the low boundary is not known.

The end date and time of the interval.

The high value includes any matching date/time. i.e. 2012-02-03T10:00:00 is in a period that has an end value of 2012-02-03.

The purpose of this identifier.

Applications can assume that an identifier is permanent unless it explicitly says that it is temporary.

Identifies the purpose for this identifier, if known .

Allows the appropriate identifier for a particular context of use to be selected from among a set of identifiers.

A coded type for the identifier that can be used to determine which identifier to use for a specific purpose.

This element deals only with general categories of identifiers. It SHOULD not be used for codes that correspond 1..1 with the Identifier.system. Some identifiers may fall into multiple categories due to common usage. Where the system is known, a type is unnecessary because the type is always part of the system definition. However systems often need to handle identifiers where the system is not known. There is not a 1:1 relationship between type and system, since many different systems have the same type.

A coded type for an identifier that can be used to determine which identifier to use for a specific purpose.

Allows users to make use of identifiers when the identifier system is not known.

Establishes the namespace for the value - that is, a URL that describes a set values that are unique.

Identifier.system is always case sensitive.

There are many sets of identifiers. To perform matching of two identifiers, we need to know what set we're dealing with. The system identifies a particular set of unique identifiers.

The portion of the identifier typically relevant to the user and which is unique within the context of the system.

If the value is a full URI, then the system SHALL be urn:ietf:rfc:3986. The value's primary purpose is computational mapping. As a result, it may be normalized for comparison purposes (e.g. removing non-significant whitespace, dashes, etc.) A value formatted for human display can be conveyed using the Rendered Value extension. Identifier.value is to be treated as case sensitive unless knowledge of the Identifier.system allows the processer to be confident that non-case-sensitive processing is safe.

Time period during which identifier is/was valid for use.

Organization that issued/manages the identifier.

The Identifier.assigner may omit the .reference element and only contain a .display element reflecting the name or other textual information about the assigning organization.

Each occurrence of the zib HealthProfessional is normally represented by two FHIR resources: a PractitionerRole resource (instance of nl-core-HealthProfessional-PractitionerRole) and a Practitioner resource (instance of nl-core-HealthProfessional-Practitioner). The Practitioner resource is referenced from the PractitionerRole instance. For this reason, sending systems should fill the reference to the PractitionerRole instance here, and not the Practitioner resource. Receiving systems can then retrieve the reference to the Practitioner resource from that PractitionerRole instance.

In rare circumstances, there is only a Practitioner instance, in which case it is that instance which will be referenced here. However, since this should be the exception, the nl-core-HealthProfessional-Practitioner profile is not explicitly mentioned as a target profile.

Optional Extension Element - found in all resources.

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.

The definition may point directly to a computable or human-readable definition of the extensibility codes, or it may be a logical URI as declared in some other specification. The definition SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension.

The date and time when the MedicationAgreement was recorded. RegistrationDateTime is used to accurately determine the chronological order of agreements. Therefore, the date and time are mandatory. These values are immutable. When consulting or receiving this MedicationAgreement, the original RegistrationDateTime remains unchanged.

Note: This data element differs from the data element RegistrationDateTime in zib RegistratieGegevens-v1.1.1 (2024NL). In zib RegistratieGegevens-v1.1.1 (2024NL), RegistrationDateTime refers to the date and time when the data was recorded. This may be the initial registration or the date and time when data was transferred. The zib concept RegistrationDateTime is not applied in MP9.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.

Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

This StopType modifier extension works differently than the .status element of resources because it has a different meaning. The .status element usually represents the status of the resource at the moment of exchanging the resource. This means that over the lifetime of a resource, the status may change (and is very much related to use period). That – in itself – makes solely mapping StopType (which may never change in an instance) to .status not suitable.

For example: suppose you want the patient to stop taking medication definitively three days from today. This is a stop medication agreement with a StopType of definitive. However today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow the .status of this medication agreement is active and only after the end date of the usage period the .status should be stopped. Status and StopType are simply not the same thing.

The repeated period in a cyclical schedule (of one or more dosing instructions). A cyclical schedule is noted in days, the corresponding dosing duration is also in days.

Examples of a cyclical schedule:
contraceptive pill (21 days, 1 pill 1x a day, then skip for 7 days, repeat), repeat period here is 28 days

Identifiers associated with this medication request that are defined by business processes and/or used to refer to it when a direct URL reference to the resource itself is not appropriate. They are business identifiers assigned to this resource by the performer or other systems and remain constant as the resource is updated and propagates from server to server.

This is a business identifier, not a resource identifier.

A code specifying the current state of the order. Generally, this will be active or completed state.

This element is implictly mapped to the zib concept NL-CM:9.6.19936 (PeriodOfUse) and the concept mp-dataelement9x-88 (MedicationAgreementStopType). Unless the status is explicitly recorded, the following guidance applies:

• When the value of PeriodOfUse.startDateTime is in the future, .status will usually be set to active.
• When the value of PeriodOfUse.startDateTime is in the past and PeriodOfUse.endDateTime exists and its value is in the future, .status will usually be set to active.
• When PeriodOfUse.endDateTime exists and its value is in the past and MedicationAgreementStopType has no value, .status will usually be set to completed.
• When PeriodOfUse.endDateTime exists and its value is in the past and MedicationAgreementStopType is 385655000, .status will usually be set to on-hold.
• When PeriodOfUse.endDateTime exists and its value is in the past, and the value of MedicationAgreementStopType is 410546004, .status will usually be set to stopped.
• When the value of PeriodOfUse.startDateTime is in the future, the value of PeriodOfUse.endDateTime equals the value of PeriodOfUse.startDateTime and the value of MedicationAgreementStopType is 89925002, .status will usually be set to cancelled.
• When PeriodOfUse.Duration and PeriodOfUse.startDateTime are known, PeriodOfUse.endDateTime can be deduced and the previous rules apply.
• When a system is unable to infer the status, .status will be set to unknown. The unknown code is not to be used to convey other statuses. The unknown code should be used when one of the statuses applies, but the authoring system doesn't know the current state of the MedicationAgreement.

A coded concept specifying the state of the prescribing event. Describes the lifecycle of the prescription.

Captures the reason for the current state of the MedicationRequest.

This is generally only used for "exception" statuses such as "suspended" or "cancelled". The reason why the MedicationRequest was created at all is captured in reasonCode, not here.

Identifies the reasons for a given status.

Unless .intent is explicitly recorded and a more appropriate code is known, the value can be set to order because a MedicationAgreement should authorize an action for a patient, pharmacist, professional administrator et cetera.

It is expected that the type of requester will be restricted for different stages of a MedicationRequest. For example, Proposals can be created by a patient, relatedPerson, Practitioner or Device. Plans can be created by Practitioners, Patients, RelatedPersons and Devices. Original orders can be created by a Practitioner only.

An instance-order is an instantiation of a request or order and may be used to populate Medication Administration Record.

This element is labeled as a modifier because the intent alters when and how the resource is actually applicable.

The kind of medication order.

Indicates the type of medication request (for example, where the medication is expected to be consumed or administered (i.e. inpatient or outpatient)).

The category can be used to include where the medication is expected to be consumed or other types of requests.

A coded concept identifying the category of medication request. For example, where the medication is to be consumed or administered, or the type of medication treatment.

Indicates the type of medication request (for example, where the medication is expected to be consumed or administered (i.e. inpatient or outpatient)).

The category can be used to include where the medication is expected to be consumed or other types of requests.

A coded concept identifying the category of medication request. For example, where the medication is to be consumed or administered, or the type of medication treatment.

Indicates how quickly the Medication Request should be addressed with respect to other requests.

Identifies the level of importance to be assigned to actioning the request.

If true indicates that the provider is asking for the medication request not to occur.

If do not perform is not specified, the request is a positive request e.g. "do perform".

Indicates if this record was captured as a secondary 'reported' record rather than as an original primary source-of-truth record. It may also indicate the source of the report.

An indication whether the resource is original (false) or a copy from a different source (true).

Identifies the medication being requested. This is a link to a resource that represents the medication which may be the details of the medication or simply an attribute carrying a code that identifies the medication from a known list of medications.

If only a code is specified, then it needs to be a code for a specific product. If more information is required, then the use of the Medication resource is recommended. For example, if you require form or lot number or if the medication is compounded or extemporaneously prepared, then you must reference the Medication resource.

A coded concept identifying substance or product that can be ordered.

The medicine agreed upon to be used.

If only a code is specified, then it needs to be a code for a specific product. If more information is required, then the use of the Medication resource is recommended. For example, if you require form or lot number or if the medication is compounded or extemporaneously prepared, then you must reference the Medication resource.

A link to a resource representing the person or set of individuals to whom the medication will be given.

The subject on a medication request is mandatory. For the secondary use case where the actual subject is not provided, there still must be an anonymized subject specified.

The Encounter during which this [x] was created or to which the creation of this record is tightly associated.

This will typically be the encounter the event occurred within, but some activities may be initiated prior to or after the official completion of an encounter but still be tied to the context of the encounter." If there is a need to link to episodes of care they will be handled with an extension.

Include additional information (for example, patient height and weight) that supports the ordering of the medication.

The time at which the agreement was made. Appointment date + time are required (order of the appointments must be clear in cases with multiple appointments on one day)

The health professional that entered the medication agreement with the patient.

Each occurrence of the zib HealthProfessional is normally represented by two FHIR resources: a PractitionerRole resource (instance of nl-core-HealthProfessional-PractitionerRole) and a Practitioner resource (instance of nl-core-HealthProfessional-Practitioner). The Practitioner resource is referenced from the PractitionerRole instance. For this reason, sending systems should fill the reference to the PractitionerRole instance here, and not the Practitioner resource. Receiving systems can then retrieve the reference to the Practitioner resource from that PractitionerRole instance.

In rare circumstances, there is only a Practitioner instance, in which case it is that instance which will be referenced here. However, since this should be the exception, the nl-core-HealthProfessional-Practitioner profile is not explicitly mentioned as a target profile.

The specified desired performer of the medication treatment (e.g. the performer of the medication administration).

Indicates the type of performer of the administration of the medication.

If specified without indicating a performer, this indicates that the performer must be of the specified type. If specified with a performer then it indicates the requirements of the performer if the designated performer is not available.

Identifies the type of individual that is desired to administer the medication.

The person who entered the order on behalf of another individual for example in the case of a verbal or a telephone order.

Reason for modification or discontinuation of the medication agreement.

This could be a diagnosis code. If a full condition record exists or additional detail is needed, use reasonReference.

A coded concept indicating why the medication was ordered.

The medical reason for the prescription or for use of the medication. This can be used to enter a medical indication which was the direct cause for prescription or for use of the medication in question. It can concern every type of problem (or condition) of the patient, almost all diagnoses, complaints or symptoms. Please note: The BST401T file of the G standard contains a “special reference” to indicate that “exchange of the reason for prescription is essential”.

This is a reference to a condition or observation that is the reason for the medication order. If only a code exists, use reasonCode.

The URL pointing to a protocol, guideline, orderset, or other definition that is adhered to in whole or in part by this MedicationRequest.

The URL pointing to an externally maintained protocol, guideline, orderset or other definition that is adhered to in whole or in part by this MedicationRequest.

A plan or request that is fulfilled in whole or in part by this medication request.

Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.
