      The current text is clear and does not explicitly or implicitly state that MedicationRequest is a substitute for any of the resources mentioned below. Its scope is limited to "addressing how a patient or a provider can access a patient’s active, historical and future (planned) medications using MedicationRequest. Additionally, there is little value in adding additional text speculating on what a future version of USCDI will contain. MedicationStatement is already addressed in the introduction to the referenced page and MedicationAdministration is addressed in the Future Candidate Requirements Under Consideration section: http://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/US-Core/future-of-US-core.html#future-candidate-requirements-under-consideration

    Description

      This section states the following:

      "The following 3 resources are introduced here to provide background and define the relationships between the pharmacy resources. This guide does not use them for accessing a patient’s medications:

      • MedicationDispense
      • MedicationAdministration
      • MedicationStatement "

      Please add clarifying text that MedicationRequest is NOT meant as a replacement for MedicationDispense, MedicationAdministration, and MedicationStatement. Rather, the scope of US Core tracks USCDI, and things like MedicationAdministration are not required in the current version of USCDI. Once MedicationAdministration and other resources are added to USCDI, they will be added to future versions of US Core.
