The Medication Dispense document describes the direct dispensation of ONE drug to a patient or legitimized third party with regard to a later application of the product by a qualified health professional. Please see its description in the CH EMED IG.
A dispense (DIS) is an entry that describes an act of dispensing one or more medications to a patient.
It is usually done by a pharmacist and may occasionally be done by another healthcare professional.
They can be for a prescribed treatment or at the patient’s request (over-the-counter, OTC).
A dispense entry has no status, it is always considered active.
Only PADV COMMENTs can apply to it.
It is useful to pharmacists to determine if a prescription may still be dispensed.
