Topic: IDs in a prescription

Hi all, what are the list of ids present in a generic US prescription? Thank you
Alexander Henket (Nov 23 2017 at 12:18):
If it is really IDs the answer would be "as many as there are systems producing prescriptions". If the question is about coding the answer is probably RxNorm

Similar to erx-id and script number, are there any other ids?
Alexander Henket (Nov 23 2017 at 12:39):
Any resource has .id and .identifier. The first being a technical id, the second being being a business identifier. I do not know of other ids. I don't know what an erx-id or a script number is, so cannot confirm or deny

A MedicationRequest will have an identifier, you could call that a prescription id. A MedicationRequest will point to identified Medication and/or Substance resources. Also there might be a connection to an identified Organization

What are the different business identifiers used in a US prescription?
