If the element is present, it must have either a @value, an @id, or extensions Identifiers associated with this Medication Administration that are defined by business processes and/or used to refer to it when a direct URL reference to the resource itself is not appropriate. They are business identifiers assigned to this resource by the performer or other systems and remain constant as the resource is updated and propagates from server to server. A plan that is fulfilled in whole or in part by this MedicationAdministration. A larger event of which this particular event is a component or step. Will generally be set to show that the administration has been completed. For some long running administrations such as infusions, it is possible for an administration to be started but not completed or it may be paused while some other process is under way. A code indicating why the status of the administration changed. The type of medication administration. Identifies the medication that was administered. This is either a link to a resource representing the details of the medication or a simple attribute carrying a code that identifies the medication from a known list of medications. The person or animal or group receiving the medication. The visit, admission, or other contact between patient and health care provider during which the medication administration was performed. Additional information (for example, patient height and weight) that supports the administration of the medication. This attribute can be used to provide documentation of specific characteristics of the patient present at the time of administration. For example, if the dose says "give "x" if the heartrate exceeds "y"", then the heart rate can be included using this attribute. A specific date/time or interval of time during which the administration took place (or did not take place). For many administrations, such as swallowing a tablet the use of dateTime is more appropriate. The date the occurrence of the MedicationAdministration was first captured in the record - potentially significantly after the occurrence of the event. An indication that the full dose was not administered. The reason or reasons why the full dose was not administered. The performer of the medication treatment. For devices this is the device that performed the administration of the medication. An IV Pump would be an example of a device that is performing the administration. Both the IV Pump and the practitioner that set the rate or bolus on the pump can be listed as performers. A code, Condition or observation that supports why the medication was administered. The original request, instruction or authority to perform the administration. The device that is to be used for the administration of the medication (for example, PCA Pump). Extra information about the medication administration that is not conveyed by the other attributes. Describes the medication dosage information details e.g. dose, rate, site, route, etc. A summary of the events of interest that have occurred, such as when the administration was verified. Describes the event of a patient consuming or otherwise being administered a medication. This may be as simple as swallowing a tablet or it may be a long running infusion. Related resources tie this event to the authorizing prescription, and the specific encounter between patient and health care practitioner. Distinguishes the type of involvement of the performer in the medication administration. Indicates who or what performed the medication administration. Describes the event of a patient consuming or otherwise being administered a medication. This may be as simple as swallowing a tablet or it may be a long running infusion. Related resources tie this event to the authorizing prescription, and the specific encounter between patient and health care practitioner. Free text dosage can be used for cases where the dosage administered is too complex to code. When coded dosage is present, the free text dosage may still be present for display to humans. The dosage instructions should reflect the dosage of the medication that was administered. A coded specification of the anatomic site where the medication first entered the body. For example, "left arm". A code specifying the route or physiological path of administration of a therapeutic agent into or onto the patient. For example, topical, intravenous, etc. A coded value indicating the method by which the medication is intended to be or was introduced into or on the body. This attribute will most often NOT be populated. It is most commonly used for injections. For example, Slow Push, Deep IV. The amount of the medication given at one administration event. Use this value when the administration is essentially an instantaneous event such as a swallowing a tablet or giving an injection. Identifies the speed with which the medication was or will be introduced into the patient. Typically, the rate for an infusion e.g. 100 ml per 1 hour or 100 ml/hr. May also be expressed as a rate per unit of time, e.g. 500 ml per 2 hours. Other examples: 200 mcg/min or 200 mcg/1 minute; 1 liter/8 hours.
