Is there a Resource for Patient Adherence, e.g., reporting a patient 's amount of adherence to taking medications... would this be an observation?

@Melva Peters
My take is that Observation is appropriate. It's a point-in-time assessment. MedicationStatement can be used to reflect what the patient is actually taking, but if you're wanting to make a descriptive assertion such as "compliant", "non-compliant", "partially-compliant", Observation is probably your best bet. The Observation could point to the MedicationRequest in question.

thanks!

There is a GF tracker that has been added to consider some kind of compliance attribute on MedicationStatement. No decision at this point. For now, I'd agree with Lloyd about using Observation
