Topic: medicationStatement reasonForUse and wasNotTaken

There is an invariant saying that MedicationStatement.reasonForUse can only be used if the medication was actually taken (wasNotTaken=false). But I would imagine reasonForUse is the reason it was intended to be taken, and if it eventually wasn't then that reason is still valid.

seems reasonable - make a task

btw - wouldn't medicationAdministration be a better choice to represent a missing dose?

hi David, in a way yes, but MedicationStatement is for when the more structured resources aren't appropriate. For the cases where it is useful, I don't think you can really use MedicationAdministration for some aspects of it.
