We are using ServiceRequest to order services like nurses to go and provide care to a patient.
In some cases, the care is "apply / give medication/give a vaccine/..." - for which it makes sense to use a medicationrequest

Is there any guidanc or experience with this?

I think this may tie into the advanced structure of ServiceRequest we're doing for R5, or perhaps it is as simple as having a RequestGroup.
Jose Costa Teixeira (Oct 01 2021 at 07:30):
but perhaps other ideas will exist - CarePlan?

I could see that a CarePlanyields multiple ServiceRequest for which there is an interest to keep them together. However, when to use RequestGroup vs. ServiceReuest.basedOn is not clear to me as I still don't understand the purpose of RequestGroup given its expansive structure. There seems some overlap between RequestGroup, CarePlan, and PlanDefinition. Patient Care and CDS would be in a better spot to clarify those boundaries. ServiceRequest would just indicate what it is based on or what it represents (code, plan, etc.)
