Description
FHIR Composition
religious preference
—
Suggest: consider adoption of patient-religion extension
https://build.fhir.org/extension-patient-religion.html
Rationale:
(1) It is supported in CDA
(2) Religious belief may be a source of medication non-compliance, identified at MMR, that needs to be brought to attention of prescribing clinicians
Examples:
Jewish law forbids any oral use of medication containing glycerol, stearates, lactose, and porcine products.
Hindus and Sikhs may be offended by medication containing animal products, particularly bovine derived products (for example, gelatine containing capsules)
Islamic rulings that prohibit any systemic ingestion of pork or alcohol also need to be considered in the context of prescribing decisions involving Muslims
