Thomas,

I agree that you have formulated two addition requirements.

When medication is considered be aware that there is already a huge

I think that with a limited amount of work the Clinical Models can be 

produced and discussed.

In addition we need this all over the world and there is one European 

project needing it : epSOS.

I would suggest that the 2 key requirements today are:
a) being able to merge medication lists for a given patient from 
multiple sources
b) being able to handle entries in the list that were prescribed (and 
that are recorded in some structured, standard way) and medications that 
the patient says they are on already, including non-prescription and 
herbal etc.

Being able to do this would generate a list that can actually be used 
for decision support (interactions testing) for a new prescription.

I don't think either of these is dealt with directly by any of the 
current standards.
