Topic: oral and injectable medicines in medicationadministration

Hi! Could somebody teach me how to distinguish between oral and injectable medicines in "medicationadministration" resource. Thank you.

Hi. I don't see any way of expressing route. I think it is missing, it is a common requirement. Method does not seem to cover it. Perhaps it went missing when adjusting the dosage data type? @Melva Peters @Jean Duteau

I'd say dosage.route: http://hl7.org/fhir/medicationadministration-definitions.html#MedicationAdministration.dosage.route
Melva Peters (Dec 27 2019 at 15:49):
Yes, that's correct, you use http://build.fhir.org/medicationadministration-definitions.html#MedicationAdministration.dosage.route to express the route of the med admin dose.
Jose Costa Teixeira (Dec 27 2019 at 19:05):
oops, apologies, I somehow missed that. It is indeed dosage.route.

@Jose Costa Teixeira @Michele Mottini @Melva Peters thank you very much for your help! Thank you!

Can I ask if I want to use the REST API to retrieve prescriptions and injections (MedicationRequest resource)separately, what should I do? I have found that medicaitonRequest.dosage.route is not a search parameter. Thanks for any help in advance.
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jun 15 2020 at 08:57):
you can add a custom category e.g. "injectables" vs "oral" - whille this may mimic the route, what it means is that "the procedure we do for these drugs are different" - which is what I'd use Category for

@Jose Costa Teixeira thank you for your help! I'll try it!

It's also possible to define custom SearchParameter instances - and to submit change requests proposing new SearchParameters for the core spec if you believe we're missing something commonly supported by industry.

@Lloyd McKenzie Thank you for your help! Could you please tell me more about how do I define custom SearchParameter instances.
Lloyd McKenzie (Jun 16 2020 at 03:31):
A SearchParameter is a resource like any other - look at http://hl7.org/fhir/SearchParameter. The trick is that defining a SearchParameter doesn't mean servers will support it. You'll have to negotiate with those responsible for any server you hope to use the search parameter with.
