## Resource Profile: US Quality Core MedicationDispense Declined

Official URL: http://fhir.org/guides/astp/us-quality-core/StructureDefinition/us-quality-core-medicationdispensedeclined | Version: 0.1.0
Active as of 2026-03-31 | Computable Name: USQualityCoreMedicationDispenseDeclined

Negation profile of MedicationDispense for decision support/quality metrics. Defines the core set of elements and extensions for quality rule and measure authors.

Usage

See the patterns page for implementation and usage patterns.

The following example illustrates the use of the MedicationDispenseDeclined profile:

    define "Dementia Medication Not Dispensed":
        ["MedicationDispenseNotDone": "Dementia Medications"] MedicationDispense
          where MedicationDispense.statusReason in "Medical Reason"
            or MedicationDispense.statusReason in "Patient Refusal"

​For a more complete discussion of representation of negation within US Quality Core and quality improvement artifacts, see the Negation in US Quality Core topic.

### Examples

Negation Example with valueset | Opthalmic Antihistamines not indicated; indicates that none of the drugs in the given not done value set were dispensed.
Negation Example with code | Alcaftadine 2.5 MG/ML Opthalmic Solution not indicated; indicates that the specific drug was not dispensed.

USCDI+ Quality Elements:

- status: (USCDI+ Quality) (USCDI) preparation \| in-progress \| cancelled \| on-hold \| completed \| entered-in-error \| stopped \| declined \| unknown
- statusReason[x]: (USCDI+ Quality) Why a dispense was not performed
- medication[x].extension:notDoneValueSet: (USCDI+ Quality) Url of a value set of activities not requested or performed

Usages:

- Examples for this Profile: MedicationDispense/negation-example and MedicationDispense/negation-with-code-example
- CapabilityStatements using this Profile: US Quality Core Client CapabilityStatement and US Quality Core Server CapabilityStatement
