MedicationStatement

Overview

For the MedicationStatement resource query, the API returns a consolidated list of medications that the provider has defined for the patient. The list represents the most current discharge medication reconciliation (DMR) list the provider has charted in Soarian.

As the most current medication list, if a patient was taking a medication prior to admission or was given a medication during his or her stay, but during the discharge process the physician determined the medication no longer applies, it will be marked stopped. Soarian clients can configure a preference to only show active medications or to also show stopped medications.

To avoid patient confusion about the definitive active medication list, no in-progress medications during an active visit are returned; these medications are managed by providers. If there is an active visit without a DMR, an Informational Message indicating that Medication reconciliation has not been performed will be returned.
