ARCHETYPE Therapeutic direction (openEHR-EHR-CLUSTER.therapeutic_direction.v1)

ARCHETYPE IDopenEHR-EHR-CLUSTER.therapeutic_direction.v1
ConceptTherapeutic direction
DescriptionStructured details of a single therapeutic direction for an ordered item, such as a medication or blood transfusion order.
UseA direction describes one or more sequential therapeutic administration patterns, coupled with an overall direction duration and details of any repetitive pattern of intended administration outside a single day. For example: '1 tab in the morning, 1 tab at night, for 3 weeks, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays'. This cluster allows multiple occurrences to enable representation of a complete set of dosage directions for a single medication order. The cluster can be renamed in template or at run-time to represent a specific dosing event such as 'loading dose', 'bolus'. This archetype will generally be used in the context of a parent INSTRUCTION archetype. It has been specifically designed for use within a complex Medication order including IV medication, or for fluid orders in the context of transfusion or dialysis.
PurposeTo record structured details of a single therapeutic direction for an ordered therapeutic/prescribable item. Each direction generally applies for a given duration, or fixed number of administrations.
