Is there a preferred way for indicating
that a medication should be taken at morning,noon,evening,night ? How would I got about researching that?
Jean Duteau (Oct 24 2018 at 17:37):
Timing.code - AM, PM, BED
Jean Duteau (Oct 24 2018 at 17:38):
this is the preferred binding, so you can use additional codes if you need to

i see these I don't see Bed. can I have "bed" and "night" without a codesystem since they aren't part of that valueset?
Include these codes as defined in http://hl7.org/fhir/v3/GTSAbbreviation Code Display Definition BID BID Two times a day at institution specified time TID TID Three times a day at institution specified time QID QID Four times a day at institution specified time AM AM Every morning at institution specified times PM PM Every afternoon at institution specified times QD QD Every Day at institution specified times QOD QOD Every Other Day at institution specified times Q4H Q4H Every 4 hours at institution specified times Q6H Q6H Every 6 Hours at institution specified times

If my company sends medication wth times of day as "morning" "afternoon" "evening" "bedtime", would I map these to QD and give them a specific times, like AM = 8AM, etc?

You'd have to create your own codesystem to send them. You could possibly look in SNOMED to see if it has the concepts you are looking for.

the latest build has Q1H, Q2H, Q3H, Q8H, BED, WK, MO besides those you listed above

Yes, that is the alternative is to say QD and give a specific time. That says "give X every day at Y time."

In HL7 V2 there was table 0335 that defined the codes for something similar to this and this was used in the TQ1-3 (Repeat Pattern) field (and other timing-related fields like RXE-1.2 that used the TQ data type):
