This includes the ability to submit, locate/list and retrieve patient specific prescription, pharmaceutical advice and dispense information, which is entirely based on the HL7 CDA standard. | CMPD, PRE, PADV, DIS, PML, MTP |
| Hospital Pharmacy | Profiles in the Hospital Pharmacy category support the ability to handle the entire workflow from the act of the prescription of a medication to the administration of the medication to the patient (e.g. by a nurse) in a hospital environment, which is entirely based on HL7 v2 messaging standards. | HMW |
