I wanted a little clarification on how we deal with prescriptions in OpenEHR
in my original thinking the archetypes that already exist provide for the capture of medication ordering/instruction, administration and this would be written directly to the CDR
is there any need to have a separate repository solely for the storage/retrieval/analysis of data about prescriptions? Would this be a functionality of a PIMS?
Hi Keisha,
I would expect all prescription data to be written into the CDR.
There are at last 2 live, tested, extensively deployed examples
Better Meds - full hospital prescribing, administration record https://meds.better.care/ with hookup to national ePrescibing services
PasientSky - https://www.patientsky.com/ full GP/community prescribing, administration, with hookup to national ePrescribing/ dispensing services.
Both projects use the standard Meds instruction, action archetypes with a small number of extensions to fit local requirements.
If there are others in production/dev, please post details here!!
So , no need to have separate repository to store or retrieve the data elsewhere.
