4.15.1 Scope and Usage 11.4.1 Scope and Usage This resource covers the supply of medications to a patient. Examples include dispensing and pick-up from an out-patient or community pharmacy, dispensing patient-specific medications from in-patient pharmacy to ward, as well as issuing a single dose from ward stock to a patient for consumption.

The Medication domain includes a number of related resources

MedicationOrder An order for both supply of the medication and the instructions for administration of the medicine to a patient. An order for both supply of the medication and the instructions for administration of the medicine to a patient.
MedicationDispense Provision of a supply of a medication with the intention that it is subsequently consumed by a patient (usually in response to a prescription). Provision of a supply of a medication with the intention that it is subsequently consumed by a patient (usually in response to a prescription).
MedicationAdministration When a patient actually consumes a medicine, or it is otherwise administered to them When a patient actually consumes a medicine, or it is otherwise administered to them
MedicationStatement This is a record of a medication being taken by a patient or that a medication has been given to a patient, where the record is the result of a report from the patient or another clinician. A medication statement is not a part of the prescribe->dispense->administer sequence, but is a report that such a sequence (or at least a part of it) did take place, resulting in a belief that the patient has received a particular medication. This resource does not deal with the supply or transfer of non-medication related items to a patient.
