      Propose that we change the name of the manufacturer attribute on Medication and Medication Knowledge to "sponsor" and include updated definition with other examples of what this means  (e.g. Market Authorization Holder)

      Short description: Organization responsible for manufacturing of the item

      Long description: ** Describes the details of the manufacturer of the medication product. This is not intended to represent the distributor of a medication product.  Describes the organization that is responsible for the manufacturing of the item and holds the registration to market the product in a jurisdiction.. This may not be the company that physically manufactures the product.  May be known as Market Authorization Holder.

    Description

      Raised in FHIR-27027 from Bev Knight.

      Created this issue for Medication as the same issue exists.

      within the medication and immunization resources there is a data element for "manufacturer".  

      the issue i have right now is with the immunization resource.  the definition for the "manufacturer" data element - is the Vaccine manufacturer. 

      This should be replaced by the Market Authorization Holder (MAH).  the MAH is the legal organization representing the manufacturer who has been granted authority to market their drug in CA.  the MAH is VERY often confused with the Manufacturer since most times they are one in the same.  

      the MAH is what is listed on the drug label NOT the manufacturer.

      This applies to ALL medicinal products AND is consistent with IDMP.
