Challenges in exchanging medication information: identifying gaps in clinical document exchange and terminology standards. |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
The availability of accurate medication history information is invaluable for making sound therapeutic decisions. The Continuity of Care Document (CCD) could serve as a mechanism for exchanging interoperable medication information between EHRs. We evaluate the feasibility of representing a medication and its underlying components in a Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP) compliant CCD. Our evaluation resulted in successfully mapping 94% of medication entries and greater than 92% of medication component mappings to CCD constraints. We identify gaps and provide recommendations for improving the representational adequacy of the Federal Medication Terminology (FMT) to fully represent orderable medication concepts. |
