Resource Profile: haau3 Reconciled MedicationRequest

Official URL: https://haau3.com/fhir/StructureDefinition/haau3-reconciled-medication-request Version: 1.0.0
Draft as of 2026-11-12 Computable Name: Haau3ReconciledMedicationRequest

One entry in a reconciled medication list: one clinical drug (its ingredients, strengths and dose form) for one patient, computed by software from that patient's medication records rather than curated by a person. Two strengths of the same medication are two entries. Every coding a source stated is kept, the RxNorm clinical-drug coding is added and marked when no source carried it, and any evidence codes it carries say why it has its status. The source records behind the entry are named in its Provenance, and anything haau3 added to it in a second, additions Provenance.

What one entry is

One entry in a reconciled medication list: one clinical drug, or one pack, for one patient. A clinical drug is one set of ingredients, strengths and dose form, and a pack is one set of clinical drugs supplied together, so metformin 500 mg tablets and metformin 1000 mg tablets are two entries, while a branded product and its generic equivalent are one. Where a source order says the branded product must be dispensed as written and a source shows its generic was dispensed, the entry names the medication as it was dispensed and carries the generic-dispensed evidence code. Software computes the list from the patient's medication records, and no person curates it. The reconcile-medications operation returns it.

Every medication on the list is a MedicationRequest, reported ones included, as US Core's medication list guidance asks:

  • intent is order when at least one order backs the entry, and plan otherwise, as for an entry that rests only on reported use.
  • reported[x] is always present. It is false when an order backs the entry, and otherwise names who reported the medication, or is true when no source said who.

How to read an entry's status

status is the status haau3 concluded from the source records' own statuses and dates. An entry may carry MedList Evidence codes that say why, and never a numeric confidence score. When the records support no conclusion, the status is unknown.

What is kept from the sources

  • Every distinct coding the source records stated, exactly as stated. A branded coding is kept beside the generic one, so the brand a source named is not lost.
  • medicationCodeableConcept.text, a source's own name for the medication.
  • dosageInstruction.text, a source's own dosage text, verbatim. haau3 does not derive structured timing, dose or route from free text.
  • authoredOn, requester, substitution, reasonCode, category, dispenseRequest and note, where a source order stated them. substitution.allowed set to false is how a source says a branded product must be dispensed as written. When an order backs the entry and no source order names a requester, requester carries only a data-absent-reason extension with the value unknown: US Core requires a requester on an order, and haau3 never invents one.

What haau3 adds

At most one coding: the RxNorm clinical drug the entry was reconciled to, from the RxNorm release named in the entry's Provenance. It is marked with the MedList Added Coding extension, and it is added only when no source coding already carries it. A coding a source stated is never marked, so any coding without the mark came from a source. When no source names the medication in words, the RxNorm release's name for it is the entry's text.

Everything haau3 adds is also named by a haau3 Reconciled Medication Additions Provenance for the entry: one target per added element, by the element's id (the added coding's is haau3-added-coding) or by its path.

What haau3 never does

  • Invent a date, a dose or a prescriber that no source stated.
  • Give a numeric confidence score.
  • Change a source record. The entry's Provenance names each record behind it.
