Hi Pablo, Yes. Sorry I misread your email but I think Karsten has helped you. We regarded the dispense of a medication as part of the full medication management cycle from initial order through to the patient being administered the medication
It is possible to think of there being two parallel processes, as Gerard has suggested. 1. The order -> administration of the medication to the patient 2. Physical Medication supply - prescription, authorisation, dispense, refill and we did consider using different archetypes for each but after discussion and some practical experimentation decided to reflect these as different pathway steps in the same archetype as in many health systems, the separation is unclear.
