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.
