This profile defines a medication structure that localises core concepts, including terminology, for use in an Australian context. The purpose of this profile is to provide national level agreement on core localised concepts. This profile does not force conformance to core localised concepts. It enables implementers and modellers to make their own rules, i.e. profiling, about how to support these concepts for specific implementation needs.

Usage Notes

Profile specific implementation guidance:

  • Medication definition includes coding as:
  • When a code for medication definition is unavailable, just text is allowed in Medication.code.text.
  • When a medication is compounded and is a list of ingredients, Medication.codemay contain only the list of ingredients as text in Medication.code.text.
  • Non-coded support for other medicinal product information can be supported as follows:
    • ​brand name in Medication Brand Name extension
    • ​generic name in Medication Generic Name extension
    • item form and strength as part of medication definition in Medication.code.text
    • manufacturer in Medication.manufacturer.display

Potentially useful extensions:
