Description
The MedicationRequest.intent value set is a little unclear in some cases:
- The instance-order code has a definition that implies it is used for medication administration. However med admins should be in the MedicationAdministration resource, not MedicationStatement.
- It isn't super clear what the difference is between order and original-order. Or really between order and any of the other "order" codes (reflex, filler, instance, original).
- It isn't clear what the "option" value is doing here. It talks about RequestGroup, but the value set is only used by MedicationRequest.
I'm open to whatever the WG wants to do to clarify stuff, but it seems like either removing some of the overlapping or irrelevant codes, and/or beefing up the descriptions would be appropriate.
