Details

This page contains part of the specification for the "Medication Prescription and Dispense (MPD)" package (version 1.0.0-comment), which is built upon FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) v5.0.0. This standard aims to standardize the process from medication prescription through dispensing, facilitating seamless information exchange between healthcare facilities. As a concrete example, it details the handling of a medication named "Medication: 02A-ClotrimazoleCanifugCremolum," based on the "Profile: IHE Medication." This case defines detailed data structures not only for the drug name and ingredients but also for associated devices (Applicator) and multiple dosage forms (Cream + pessary, Pessary). The specification provides advanced implementation guidelines that allow for granular management at the item level during the medication process (e.g., specifying tube cream or number of suppositories). This is highly relevant to Japan's healthcare IT sector for standardizing drug information and ensuring interoperability. The package is provided by IHE.
