Medication Overview Project

The goal of this work item is to produce IHE Profiles for Medication Overview.

Medication overview relates to:

• Documentation of medication lists - i.e. the list of medications that the patient is taking, or has been taking, or is supposed to be taking.
• Medication treatment planning - where the medication for a patient starts as a treatment plan from which the necessary prescriptions and dispenses are derived.

While these are different goals, interoperability between practices and jurisdictions is essential to ensure continuity of care and patient-centered data, especially in transition of medication list content rules, or paradigm.

The goal of this work is to provide a standard set of transactions for exchanging medication information - overviews for different scenarios:

• Medication Lists or Summaries for transition of care
• Medication Details for EHRs or EPRs
• Medication Treatments for care planning and delivery

This topic is intrinsically articulated with the Medication Prescription and Delivery topis:

• In some situations, a Medication Overview is a result of collecting (manually or automatically) the available clinical documents - prescriptions, dispenses, etc.
• In a growing number of cases, the "treatment overview" is not just a snapshot view resulting of the other clinical documents, but is rather the starting point for initiating clinical actions.
