Proof of concept. Not for clinical use. This IG is written by Nithin Mohan. It is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, HIQA, the HSE, HL7 Ireland, HL7 Europe or the Department of Health. It follows a HIQA draft national standard that is out for public consultation (September 2026) and will change.

What this IG is

IE Medication Events (IE MPD) profiles the exchange of medication events in Ireland on FHIR R4:

Event Profile Basis
Prescribing (ePrescription) MedicationRequest (ePrescription), grouped in an ePrescription Bundle HIQA EP Sections 1–5; HL7 Europe MPD 1.0.0
Dispensing (eDispensation) MedicationDispense (eDispensation) HIQA EP Section 6; HL7 Europe MPD 1.0.0
Administration MedicationAdministration IE MPD design (HIQA has no administration dataset); base FHIR R4
Medication statement MedicationStatement HIQA Patient Summary 6.3 (Medication summary); HL7 Europe Base 2.0.0

The medicine itself is a Medication (ePrescription), coded with the NMPC (SNOMED CT Irish Edition). The people and organisations are Patient (ePrescription), Practitioner, PractitionerRole, Organization and Location.

Where to start

Relationship to IE Core

This IG started as a copy of the ePrescription and eDispensation profiles in IE Core (0.2.0, "Nostalgic IE"). It owns its own canonical (https://hl7-ie.github.io/medication-events/fhir) and does not depend on the IE Core package. Identifier system URIs (IHI, PPSN, IMC, PSI, …) stay in IE Core's namespace, so the same identifier carries the same system in both IGs. See ADR-001 in the source repository.
