Medications

This data model allows real-time notifications of medication information for patients, whether for new or existing prescriptions.

Mediation data varies across healthcare organizations. We normalize some of these differences for you, but you may see that one provider provides more or less details than another. We recommend being flexible with differences and do extensive testing during implementation to verify that you don't have any issues with the varying levels of medication data.

If you're looking for a list of current medications, review the ClinicalSummary data model.

This data model has event types that allow you to:

request a new medication for a patient;
update or cancel an existing prescription for a patient; or
record when a patient receives a medication.

Not supported

We don't currently support these medication event types:

Dispense: Triggered as medication is dispensed or prescriptions are filled.
Statement: Triggered when patients self-report medications they take.
Renewal: Triggered when a patient requests a fill of a prescription.

If you're interested in these event types, talk to your Technical Account Manager.
