Details

gematik has defined and published the 'Provide Dispensation eRP' operation within its ePA Medication Service, version 1.1.5, which is built upon FHIR standards. This operation is designed to record information pertaining to the dispensing of medications that are based on an electronic prescription (e-prescription). Specifically, it documents details such as the quantity, date of dispensing, and pharmacy information, thereby maintaining a comprehensive overview of the patient’s medication history. This specification defines the structure of the 'Provide Dispensation eRP' OperationDefinition, including input parameters (EPA Operation ProvideDispensation ERP Input-Parameters) and output parameters (RxDispensation ERP Output-Parameters). The goal is to standardize the recording of this critical lifecycle event—the dispensing of medication based on an electronic prescription—and provide a robust data linkage foundation for managing patient drug history. This release, based on FHIR 4.0.1, represents a significant technical advancement toward achieving high interoperability in healthcare information systems.
