Use Case Description(s) | |
Use Case Description | These foundational FHIR resources are part of a suite of resources and should all be under USCDI Medication as they are needed for eCare Plans, including but not limited to the Pharmacist eCare Plan. |
Estimate the breadth of applicability of the use case(s) for this data element | At least 21 pharmacy system vendors are FHIR enabled and are created millions of Pharmacist eCare Plans throughout the US. |
