Dose instruction verb reference set

This reference set contains terminology to support the recording of commonly used dosing imperative fragments (e.g. ‘administer’, ‘chew’, ‘inject’) within a dose syntax. It was developed as part of the Australian Medicines Terminology (AMT) Dose Based Prescribing project and is designed for use by developers whose vendor systems create medication orders.

This reference set can be used:

· alongside medication terminologies, such as the AMT, to create medication orders for patient medications

· within implementations in which specific reference sets for prescribing use cases are yet to be developed

· as the basis for developing further reference sets for prescribing.
