Medications Work Group

Co-chairs:  Brett Esler

Safe medication management is a critical clinical safety issue.

The HL7 Australia Medication Workgroup (WG) provides a forum for stakeholders and interest parties to contribute and discuss matters related to clinical and technical contents of medication information.
The mission of this WG is to assure that these medication information contents:

• meets the requirements of prescribing/ordering, dispensing and supply, administration and use
• supports the understanding and review of patient’s medical profile and management
• are interoperable (clinically and technically)

Interested parties/stakeholders from the clinical and technical communities are welcome and encouraged to join and participate in the activities of this WG.

• Help shape the direction(s) of and contribute to this workgroup in the adoption, adaption (localisation) and development of interoperable contents to support safe medication information exchanges and management
• Receive regular updates on the trends in national and international standards in interoperable medication information including FHIR medication resources and other HL7 Pharmacy standards
