Details
This document serves as a technical specification detailing the 'PluginMedicationAdministration - Mappings' resource profile built upon FHIR standards. The mapping definitions outline how essential data elements required for recording a medication administration event (e.g., `id`, `meta`, `subject`, `context`, `dosage`, `route`) correspond to existing healthcare information exchange standards (such as HL7 v2, FiveWs Pattern, W3C PROV) and other structures within FHIR. A key highlight is the provision of detailed guidelines for maintaining consistency across multiple standard formats regarding critical clinical events like medication administration. This includes structuring information such as when (`effective`), who (`subject`), what (`medication`), under what circumstances (`context`), and via which route (`route`) the action occurred. This specification, based on FHIR 4.0.1, is a crucial technical advancement aimed at enhancing data exchange accuracy and building more comprehensive patient care histories in Japanese healthcare settings, directly impacting the integration of medication records from diverse sources like EHRs and dispensing systems.
