Reported Medication (unique)

“Indicates if this record was captured as a secondary 'reported' record rather than as an original primary source-of-truth record.” (from FHIR R4 MedicationRequest.reported[x]). This would clearly identify a medication that only exists in the data system not as part of any direct data for an original prescription (within the same EHR or across an EHR network, etc) but, instead, via descriptive communication or narrative (verbal, written, etc) by a relevant person (the patient, family, a caregiver, another physician, etc.) This may either be represented as a simple Boolean choice or, additionally, include information of the person and/or nature of the reporting. Additionally, some standards and system implementations provide more than one location for this type of information – and different options are used by different implementations resulting in highly non-standardized usage of this critical information. Proposal is that this information is captured ONLY in one way, universally across systems.

In FHIR R4, MedicationRequest.reported[x] (https://www.hl7.org/fhir/medicationrequest-definitions.html#MedicationRequest.reported_x_) supplied either a boolean or Reference(Patient | Practitioner | PractitionerRole | RelatedPerson | Organization) In FHIR R4 MedicationStatement - FHIR v4.0.1 (https://www.hl7.org/fhir/medicationstatement.html) which is still sometimes used to represent reported medications, a number of key terminologies are utilized

Insomnia Screening

Insomnia is a very common complaint in the general population and can contribute to a state of inadequate or mistimed sleep, which can affect general health, mental wellbeing and daytime functioning. Several screening tools exist to identify and severity of insomnia, including the Insomnia Severity Index. Insomnia is a common, treatable condition that often goes undiagnosed and can negatively affect general physical and mental health. Insomnia is very common, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine reports that approximately 30% - 40% of US adults report symptoms of insomnia at some point in a given year. Insomnia is a common, treatable condition that often goes undiagnosed and can nagatively affect general physical and mental health. Charles M.
