Profile of MedicationAdministration for decision support/quality metrics. Defines the core set of elements and extensions for quality rule and measure authors.
The MedicationAdministration profile defines the conformance expectations for a MedicationAdministration event, regardless of whether it is a positive or negative statement. The MedicationAdministrationDone and MedicationAdministrationNotDone profiles represent the positive and negative statements for a MedicationAdministration event.
To create an expression indicating existence of a MedicationAdministration, use the profile QICoreMedicationAdministrationDone; to specifically request information that a MedicationAdministration intentionally did not occur for a medical, patient or system reason, use the profile QICoreMedicationAdministrationNotDone.
The following example illustrates accessing MedicationAdministration data:
define "Low Dose Unfractionated Heparin Administration":
  ["MedicationAdministration": medication in "Low Dose Unfractionated Heparin for VTE Prophylaxis"] VTEMedication
    where VTEMedication.status = 'completed'
      and VTEMedication.category ~ QICoreCommon."Inpatient"
