Hi @all ,
In our country, the doctor always gives a lot of medicine,
If I want to map the Prescription List to HL7 FHIR resource, what should I do.

Please refrain from using '@' all as it sends an email to the thousand+ people subscribed to this stream. Typically PrescriptionList would be handled as a List resource pointing to MedicationRequest resources. Though if your list is just "medications the patient is on" rather than "current prescriptions", you might want to use MedicationStatement as well or instead.

You can map the individual medication orders to a MedicationRequest. The set of medications on your list could be included in a List Resource or a bundle.

Bundle is a mechanism for transporting from server to server, but it has no meaning and generally isn't persisted unless you're creating a FHIR document. List allows you to maintain a currated list of "current" medications.

Thank you guys. The other question is, the scenario is in home-care, if I would like to record the patient whether to take machine, only Yes he/she taken the medicine. Could I use the Observation Resource to record this event?
Lloyd McKenzie (May 12 2018 at 07:13):
You could, but MedicationAdministration is probably better if you're recording a single administration or MedicationStatement if you're wanting to answer the general question "are you currently taking this medication?"
