Topic: Past Medication Summary

I have a field for past medications summary - where the patient could fill summary of one/more medications taken in the past.
If i were to use MedicationStatement, I believe in the medicationCodeableConcept i can put only one medication .

If you're wanting to capture a list of past medications as a single text blob, I'd recommend using the List resource
Eric Haas (Mar 03 2018 at 18:38):
rahul is correct - each MedStatement represents a single med. So you would need to create a new MedStatement for med the patient lists.

Correct, one medStatement for each med, and one list to bundle them all.

Making a list would not be possible for us - from the summary. Is there no place where we can put a summary of past medications ?
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 10 2018 at 09:58):
You can stick them in List.text as narrative. But there's no way to convey discrete information about multiple medications except with a List resource pointing to multiple MedicationRequest or MedicationStatement resource instances.
