Hi Ian and Pablo,
Although I don't like commenting on how others implement their systems I would 
hate for this discussion to become the defacto standard on how the API works in 
the context of persistent compositions.
Although I understand Ian's position on best clinical practice of a single 
medication list represented as a persistent composition in a person's EHR, 
there is nothing stated about this in the specifications.
I would be interested in other vendors implementations in this area, but as a 
service implementation I do not like makinging these application oriented 
decisions unless they are in the specification. There are way too many use 
cases where our service is used and many will break this scenario like merges, 
distributed EHRs and cross organisational shared records.
I think it is the application that needs to apply these business rules.
I think this needs to be addressed by the API SEC before recommendations that 
appear normative are made on the lists.
Personally we have had big problems with persistent compositions due to lack of 
context, although we are working on fixing these, I still feel that perhaps we 
are not ready to have the category attribute constrained in the archetypes that 
we currently state are persistent for these same reasons. I have seen cases 
where there is a desire for different problem lists from different clinical 
perspectives, in particular a consumers view vs a GP vs a specialist.

Regards

Heath
