Current limitations of STU3 Dosage structure

The following edge cases have been identified which are not sufficiently supported as coded structures within the STU3 Dosage structure. Until such a time when the CareConnect FHIR profiles are updated with either an extension or an internationally agreed change to the HL7 FHIR standard, a work-around is required.

• Edge Case 1 - Specific instructions related to combination products
• Edge Case 2 - Defining a maximum dose per course
• Edge Case 3 - Defining a period of time where medication should not be taken
• Edge Case 4 - Medication request instructions including use of a specific device
• Edge Case 5 - Defining a Trade Family without using an AMP
