Topic: Medication Parameters?
Mithilesh gupta (Nov 03 2017 at 09:54):
I have the treatment history of a patient. It consists of the drugs that were taken and the effect/Adequacy of the drugs.
Eg : Drug:XXX,Dose:200mg,Adequate:Yes,Side Effect: Weight Loss, Response : 30%
Here Response is a measure of how much the patient's body responded to the medicine.
I am having confusion over the selection of the resources-
I understand drug name and dose will be represented through Medication.
I need to know which resources to use for :
1. Adequacy
2.Side Effect
3.Response
Resources I have pondered over :
1. AdverseEffect for side Effect
2. Observation for Adequacy,Response

Your ponderation seems to be good if you are in the following context:
Jose Costa Teixeira (Nov 03 2017 at 11:45):
1. This is about the effect of the drug on a specific patient, not about the drug itself. And assuming it is all for past events.
2. I assume you mean adverseEvent. AdverseEvent is to capture something that went wrong/unexpectedly at a given time or event ("event" does not need to be a specific administration, can be the entire treatment).
3. I don't know what you mean by adequacy

@Jose Costa Teixeira
1. Yes it is effect of drug on a specific patient.
2. Yes I meant AdverseEvent.
3. By Adequacy ,it means whether drug dose and duration were adequate or not.
Also let me know if you believe Adequacy,Response should map to Observation.
Thanks

Adequacy and Response seem to be about the outcome of the treatment, so I think Observation is indeed your best choice
