See Comparison With Other National and International IGs for a comparison between AU Patient Summary (AU PS) profiles and profiles in other implementation guides.

Profile Specific Implementation Guidance

• See the guidance on implementing the MedicationRequest resource in AU Core.
• When populating MedicationRequest.medicationCodeableConcept producers SHALL correctly populate MedicationRequest.medicationCodeableConcept.coding with either a code from Australian Medication or PBS Item Codes, or both, if a coded value is known and MAY populate with a code from another code system.
  • Producers MAY populate with only text if no coded value is known.
• The MedicationRequest resource can represent the clinical indication as a code with MedicationRequest.reasonCode, or a reference with MedicationRequest.reasonReference to a Condition or other resource.
  • Although both are marked as Must Support, producers are not required to support both a code and a reference, but they SHALL support at least one of these elements
  • A consumer SHALL support both elements
