The Current Medications Section is a summary view of the patient’s active medications and will include only the current medications that the patient is on as at a set date. Only medications with a Record Status set to Active should be included in this section and consequently, it is only relevant to the Episodic Documents use case when historical medications are not of interest and not appropriate to be used in the EMR Conversion or Patient Transfer use cases. This section may be referred to as the “Useful Medication List” and includes the date that the list was generated as accurate. This section may be used to communicate the current medications when it is not appropriate or desired to send the entire medication list history.

The inclusion of active prescription, dispense and administration details may be included in this section if

required.

Refer to the Medications & Prescriptions Section for a detailed discussion of the inclusion of medications in the document and on specific information on communicating all active and historical medications and prescription details.
