Delivery of bulk Supplies | Record of delivery of what is supplied. | ||
identifier | External identifier | Identifier for the supply delivery event that is used to identify it across multiple disparate systems. | This identifier is typically assigned by the dispenser, and may be used to reference the delivery when exchanging information about it with other systems. |
basedOn | Fulfills plan, proposal or order | A plan, proposal or order that is fulfilled in whole or in part by this event. | |
partOf | Part of referenced event | A larger event of which this particular event is a component or step. | Not to be used to link an event to an Encounter - use Event.context for that. [The allowed reference resources may be adjusted as appropriate for the event resource]. |
status | in-progress | completed | abandoned | entered-in-error | A code specifying the state of the dispense event. | This element is labeled as a modifier because the status contains codes that mark the resource as not currently valid. |
patient | Patient for whom the item is supplied | A link to a resource representing the person whom the delivered item is for. | |
type | Category of dispense event | Indicates the type of dispensing event that is performed. Examples include: Trial Fill, Completion of Trial, Partial Fill, Emergency Fill, Samples, etc. | |
suppliedItem | The item that is delivered or supplied | The item that is being delivered or has been supplied. | |
suppliedItem.id | Unique id for inter-element referencing | Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces. | |
suppliedItem.extension | Additional content defined by implementations | May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. | There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone. |
suppliedItem.modifierExtension | Extensions that cannot be ignored even if unrecognized | May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself). | There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone. |
suppliedItem.quantity | Amount dispensed | The amount of supply that has been dispensed. Includes unit of measure. | |
suppliedItem.item[x] | Medication, Substance, or Device supplied | Identifies the medication, substance or device being dispensed. This is either a link to a resource representing the details of the item or a code that identifies the item from a known list. | |
occurrence[x] | When event occurred | The date or time(s) the activity occurred. | [The list of types may be constrained as appropriate for the type of event]. |
supplier | Dispenser | The individual responsible for dispensing the medication, supplier or device. | |
destination | Where the Supply was sent | Identification of the facility/location where the Supply was shipped to, as part of the dispense event. | |
receiver | Who collected the Supply | Identifies the person who picked up the Supply. |
This resource is an event resource from a FHIR workflow perspective - see Workflow. It is the intent of the Orders and Observation Workgroup to align this resource with the workflow pattern for event resources.
The scope of the supply resource is for supplies used in the healthcare process. This includes supplies specifically used in the treatment of patients as well as supply movement within an institution (transport a set of supplies from materials management to a service unit (nurse station). This resource does not include the provisioning of transportation services.
This resource overlaps with others such as Device and Medication. The Supply resource may be used to describe medications and devices when handling them generically (as any other supply). For example, when processing bulk orders, etc. However, when the medication, device or other aspects of the resource are important, (e.g. in a MedicationRequest or when identifying a device as a performer), the more detailed resource must be used.
