# SupplyRequest Definitions

<a id="SupplyRequest"></a>

## SupplyRequest
Request for a medication, substance or device

**Definition:** A record of a request to deliver a medication, substance or device used in the healthcare setting to a particular destination for a particular person or organization.

**Cardinality:** 0..*

**Mappings:** workflow=Request; v2=ORC; rim=Act[moodCode<=INT]; w5=workflow.order


<a id="SupplyRequest.identifier"></a>

## SupplyRequest.identifier
Business Identifier for SupplyRequest

**Definition:** Business identifiers assigned to this SupplyRequest by the author and/or other systems. These identifiers remain constant as the resource is updated and propagates from server to server.

**Comments:** The identifier.type element is used to distinguish between the identifiers assigned by the requester/placer and the performer/filler.

**Requirements:** Allows identification of the request as it is known by various participating systems and in a way that remains consistent across servers.

**Cardinality:** 0..*

**Type:** [Identifier](/Identifier)

**Summary:** true

**Mappings:** workflow=Request.identifier; w5=FiveWs.identifier; v2=ORC.2, ORC.3; rim=.identifier


<a id="SupplyRequest.status"></a>

## SupplyRequest.status
draft | active | suspended +

**Definition:** Status of the supply request.

**Cardinality:** 0..1

**Type:** [code](/code)

**Binding:** required:[supplyrequest-status](/valueset-supplyrequest-status)

**Summary:** true

**Is Modifier:** true (Reason: This element is labeled as a modifier because it is a status element that contains status entered-in-error which means that the resource should not be treated as valid)

**Mappings:** workflow=Request.status; w5=FiveWs.status; v2=ORC.5; rim=.status


<a id="SupplyRequest.intent"></a>

## SupplyRequest.intent
proposal | solicit-offer | offer-response | plan | directive | order | original-order | reflex-order | filler-order | instance-order | option

**Definition:** Whether the request is a proposal, plan, or an original order.

**Comments:** This element is immutable. It cannot be changed for the same resource instance. It is expected that the type of requester will be restricted for different stages of a SupplyRequest. For example, Proposals can be created by a patient, relatedPerson, Practitioner or Device.  Plans can be created by Practitioners, Patients, RelatedPersons and Devices.  Original orders can be created by a Practitioner only.

An instance-order is an instantiation of a request or order and may be used to populate Medication Administration Record.

This element is labeled as a modifier because the intent alters when and how the resource is actually applicable.

**Cardinality:** 1..1

**Type:** [code](/code)

**Binding:** required:[request-intent](/valueset-request-intent)

**Summary:** true

**Is Modifier:** true (Reason: This element changes the interpretation of all descriptive attributes. For example "the time the request is recommended to occur" vs. "the time the request is authorized to occur" or "who is recommended to perform the request" vs. "who is authorized to perform the request)

**Mappings:** workflow=Request.intent; w5=FiveWs.class; rim=.moodCode (nuances beyond PRP/PLAN/RQO would need to be elsewhere)


<a id="SupplyRequest.basedOn"></a>

What other request is fulfilled by this supply request

**Definition:** Plan/proposal/order fulfilled by this request.

**Cardinality:** 0..*

**Type:** Reference([Resource](/Resource))

<a id="SupplyRequest.groupIdentifier"></a>

## SupplyRequest.groupIdentifier
Composite request this is part of

**Definition:** A shared identifier common to multiple independent Request instances that were activated/authorized more or less simultaneously by a single author.  The presence of the same identifier on each request ties those requests together and may have business ramifications in terms of reporting of results, billing, etc.  E.g. a requisition number shared by a set of lab tests ordered together, or a prescription number shared by all meds ordered at one time.

**Comments:** Requests are linked either by a "basedOn" relationship (i.e. one request is fulfilling another) or by having a common requisition.  Requests that are part of the same requisition are generally treated independently from the perspective of changing their state or maintaining them after initial creation.

**Aliases:** grouperId

**Cardinality:** 0..1

**Type:** [Identifier](/Identifier)

**Summary:** true
