Topic: MedicationAdministration dosage.text

All, we were rechecking some mappings, and the MedicationAdministration dosage.text states "Free text dosage instructions can be used for cases where the instructions are too complex to code. When coded instructions are present, the free text instructions may still be present for display to humans taking or administering the medication." Which is essentially a smaller chunck of text from MedicationOrder

The confusion: should the text be the administration's original *instructions* (eg: from the order) or should the text be a representation of the actual administration (what is actually in the dosage element)? Both seem beneficial, though you could go through the MedicationOrder reference to get to the original

The adminstration is intended to be a single instance of an administration of an order. The dose in the adminstration should reflect the dose of the medication that was administered.

Would probably be best to change the description to not refer to "instructions"
