| I couldn't agree more.
From my perspective I would like to advocate that this DCM/archetype takes the self-registration of drug use by the patient/ citizen into account. I really think that for the coming years self-registration will be the fastest route to a drug use registration that provides the best possible reflection of the reality. Also if we don't come up with a good solution that allows citizen involved, other parties, who might have less interest in open standards, could take over that domain. Since I've been trying to work this out for quite some time now, I finally took the time to write down my thoughts on this topic. For those of you interested it can be found here:
Maybe this can be of some help in the discussions coming...
Cheers,

So lets do a medication archetype that contains all the standard information constructs required to do this, and CCD and CCR. We can include Microsoft if we want as well just to have the world reasonably covered off. The point here is there are a plethora of specifications being developed and no one knows quite what they mean or how to use them. Lets do it in openEHR and try to nail it down. Cheers, Sam Hi Thomas,
The Netherlands is implementing the exchange of medication messages in order to achieve the full list of a patient of current and past medications and prescriptions.
Current pharmacy and gp systems have a DSS system in place that tackles interactions.
It is probably not perfect, but coming in the direction you suggest.
I agree that this is an interesting topic to tackle further and harmonize.
A lot is already put into the HL7 CEN ISO CDISC and IHTSDO harmonization work, where pharmacy is now a priority topic.

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.
