11.6 Resource MedicationKnowledge - Content

Pharmacy icon Work GroupMaturity Level: 1 Trial UseSecurity Category: Business Compartments: No defined compartments

Information about a medication that is used to support knowledge.

11.6.1 Scope and Usage

This resource supports use cases for creation of and querying for medication information including attributes such as medication classifications, images of medications, costs and/or coverages, etc. This resource can be used to return medication information as part of a formulary or a catalogue.

Where the Medication resource is intended for the simple identification of a medication for prescribing, dispensing, or administering, the MedicationKnowledge resource is intended to provide more detailed information about the medication. Unlike the MedicinalProductDefinition resource, the MedicationKnowledge resource is not a complete definition of the medication but provides some definitional information along with formulary/catalogue-specific information such as costs, monitoring programs, etc.
