The Medication Administration Event template describes substance administrations that
have actually occurred (e.g. pills ingested or injections given).
This template includes the identification of the Administering Event and would repeat
for each dispense issued for the Dispense identified in the Dispense Event Section.
This template includes all the information that may be communicated as part of a administering
event.
This template is primarily relevant to use cases 3 (Provider Administered); however,
it may also be populated if the administering provider/organization has submitted
the information to the EMR.
Medication timing is complex. This template requires that there be a substanceAdministration/effectiveTime valued with a time interval, representing the start and stop dates. Additional effectiveTime elements are optional, and can be used to represent frequency and other aspects of
more detailed dosing regimens.
