This publication contains the specification for the Prescription Search Support.

The functional scope is to provide options during a prescription. The initial focus is on Antimicrobiology, i.e. searches related to ordering of antibiotics.

Acknowledging the impact and complexity of providing feedback on ordering, the PSS project uses an overall approach taken based on the existing guidance, namely Clinical Practice Guidelines

Note:

- The Questionnnaires, ValueSets and CodeSystems depend on the actual guidelines, so they are not normative, and may change. They will be subject to different updates.

### Cross Version Analysis

This is an R4 IG. None of the features it uses are changed in R4B, so it can be used as is with R4B systems. Packages for both R4 (hl7.fhir.be.pss.r4) and R4B (hl7.fhir.be.pss.r4b) are available.
