Medication Administration Provider

Introduction

The Medication Administration Provider data model is a critical component of healthcare information systems that focuses on documenting and managing information about healthcare professionals or entities responsible for administering medications to patients. This model ensures that medication administration is carried out safely, accurately, and in compliance with healthcare standards.

Use Case

Developers can utilize the Medication Administration Provider data model for various technical use cases aimed at enhancing the management of medication administration and ensuring patient safety:

Provider Identification: Developers can use this model to accurately identify healthcare providers or entities responsible for administering medications to patients, ensuring accountability in the medication administration process.
Audit Trails: Implementing audit trails in healthcare systems helps maintain a record of healthcare providers' actions during medication administration, which can be crucial for accountability and quality assurance.
Provider Performance Analysis: Developers can build systems to analyze the performance of healthcare providers in medication administration, helping institutions identify areas for improvement or additional training.
Provider Assignment: Developers can create tools for assigning healthcare providers or entities to specific medication administration tasks based on their qualifications, certifications, or other criteria.
Compliance Monitoring: Systems can be developed to monitor and ensure that healthcare providers adhere to medication administration protocols, including timing, dosage, and route of administration.
Patient Safety Measures: Developers can implement features that enforce safety measures, such as double-checking medication administration by multiple providers, especially for high-risk medications.
Telemedicine Support: Medication administration provider data can be integrated into telemedicine platforms to ensure remote healthcare providers are properly documented when administering medications to patients.
Reporting and Analytics: Developers can use this data to generate reports on medication administration activities, provider compliance, and patient outcomes, facilitating data-driven decision-making.
Patient Education: Systems can provide patients with information about the healthcare provider responsible for administering their medications, promoting transparency and trust.
Medication Incident Reporting: Implement mechanisms for reporting medication-related incidents, adverse events, or errors during administration, allowing for thorough investigation and improvements in the medication administration process.
Legal Compliance: Ensure that systems comply with legal and regulatory requirements for documenting healthcare provider involvement in medication administration.
Credential Verification: Developers can create tools for verifying the credentials and qualifications of healthcare providers involved in medication administration, ensuring that only authorized individuals administer medications.

Data Fields

Attribute Name	Description	HL7 Mapping	Data Type	Label	Use Case
bundle_id	ID of bundle	MSH-10	string	Bundle ID	“bundle ID" typically refers to a unique identifier assigned to a group or bundle of related messages or data elements. This identifier is used to associate multiple messages or pieces of information that are related to a specific patient, event, or transaction.
xc_visit_id	XC visit id	Based on alternate_visit_id followed by visit_number followed by system generated ID	string	XC visit id	The "xc_visit_id" is a unique identifier used to group together all the interactions, procedures, tests, and check-ups associated with a single patient visit in a healthcare setting. This identifier helps in organising and managing various activities and data related to that specific patient encounter.
lineage	This is lineage attribute	Fixed - HL7	string	Lineage	"lineage" refers to the information about the origin or source of a message. It helps trace the path of the message, indicating where it originated, how it was transmitted, and any intermediate systems or components it passed through before reaching its destination.
patient_id	This is patient_id attribute	PID-3-1	string	Patient ID	The patient ID is a unique identifier assigned to a patient within the healthcare system. It is used to accurately identify and link a patient's medical records, treatments, and history.
encounter_id	Encounter ID	PV1+MSH-10	string	Encounter ID	This unique identifier is used to associate various HL7 messages with a specific patient encounter or visit. It ensures that data and events are accurately linked to the correct patient's healthcare journey.
alternate_visit_id	Alternative visit id	PV1-50/PID-18	string	Alternate Visit Id	This field provides an alternate identifier for a patient's visit. It is used for tracking and cross-referencing patient visits and records, especially in scenarios requiring multiple identifiers or references. This field is recorded during patient registration and aids in accurate record linkage.
batch_id	Batch id	System Generated	string	Batch ID	"batch ID" is a unique identifier assigned to a group of messages that are logically grouped together for processing or transmission. Batching messages is a common practice in healthcare systems to efficiently manage and transmit multiple messages as a single unit
visit_number	Id of the visit	PV1-19-1	string	Visit Number	The visit number serves as a unique identifier for a specific patient visit or encounter within a healthcare facility. It distinguishes one visit from another.
