The Current Medications Section is a summary view of the patient’s active medications
and will include
only the current medications that the patient is on as at a set date. Only medications
with a Record Status
set to Active should be included in this section and consequently, it is only relevant
to the Episodic
Documents use case when historical medications are not of interest and not appropriate
to be used in the
EMR Conversion or Patient Transfer use cases. This section may be referred to as the
“Useful Medication
List” and includes the date that the list was generated as accurate. This section
may be used to
communicate the current medications when it is not appropriate or desired to send
the entire medication
list history.
The inclusion of active prescription, dispense and administration details may be included
in this section if
required.
Refer to the Medications & Prescriptions Section for a detailed discussion of the
inclusion of medications
in the document and on specific information on communicating all active and historical
medications and
prescription details.
