Health Informatics - Requirements for a record of the dispense of a medicinal product (ISO/TS 19293:2018)
This document specifies requirements for a record of a dispense of a medicinal product.
It is intended to be adopted by detailed, implementable specifications, such as interoperability
standards, system specifications, and regulatory programs.
This document applies to information systems in which a dispense of a medicinal product is registered,
and the systems that consume such information. These systems are usually in pharmacies or other
healthcare institutions. This document does not necessarily apply to non-pharmacy shops or other nonclinical
systems (e.g. supermarket cashiers).
The scope of this document includes the activities relating to the dispensing of a medicinal product and
the information content for the capture of structured information produced in those events.
These activities include any actual dispense, cancellation or other outcome that may have occurred at
the time of planned or actual dispense. In other words, the dispense record also contains information
that medication was expected to be dispensed but was not dispensed.

Introduction
The record of dispensed medicinal product(s) plays an important role in the patient safety domain.
When a medicinal product has been prescribed, it then has to be dispensed before being administered
to the subject of care. The dispensed product may correspond exactly to what was prescribed, but it
may equally be different for various reasons, such as substitution, unavailability of medicinal product
in the prescribed dosage or route of administration, etc.
There are further situations, when medicinal products are dispensed or supplied without any
prescription. This should also be captured since a non-prescribed medicinal product may have
interactions or other influences with prescribed medicinal products.
When creating a list of a patient’s medication history, prescriptions can provide valuable information,
but the dispensation is sometimes considered a better indicator of the medication taken by a patient
than a prescription, i.e. although neither is information about compliance or administration, the
dispense record is many times considered a more reliable indicator of actual medication use than a
prescription (even if it also not an unequivocal indication of administration). Therefore, there is a need
to capture the dispensation, as the dispensation either completes the logical chain from prescription
to administration, or provides information for later prescriptions or dispensation, for instance, if
interactions can be anticipated and avoided.
The dispense record should provide information in such a way that it is accurate and reusable; for
example, statistics and other information can be collected across the dispensers for public health
purposes, or for regulatory needs (e.g. controlled substances control).
Additionally, the dispense record is a traceability element. For clinical purposes, it supports recording
the process from prescribing to administration. For supply chain, it allows reconstruction of the supply
chain, for example, in the contexts of recalls or supply chain integrity.
This document defines the information that may be contained in a dispense record, and the applicability
and constraints of such information. It defines a set of conditions that should be verified on detailed
interoperability implementations.
This document also defines requirements for when the dispense record should be issued in the cases
where it is needed. This is not required as a specific moment in a process — which would depend on a
variety of processes and factors — but by providing a common set of activities that are included in a
dispense.
This document addresses the requirements which are to be fulfilled by the systems that record
medicinal product dispensation. It is based on use cases which are chosen from the daily life within the
same jurisdiction, and when the prescription and dispensation have occurred in different jurisdictions.
This document relies on the assumption that prescription and dispensation are supported by medicinal
product dictionaries that ensure interoperability.
One key aspect in this document is that the notion of dispense can vary according to context (hospital
versus community), jurisdiction, and other factors. The uses of the dispense record can also vary. These
variations can have a strong impact on the definition of dispense.
For example, the process of dispensing a medication varies considerably between hospital and
community settings, and even inside a hospital. Another example is if the dispense record is used
mostly for operational concerns (reimbursement), the relevant dispense information is obtained
when the medication is retrieved for that patient. But if the dispense record is supposed to support
clinical systems, it may be better to capture information until the medication is delivered to the patient
or handed to a next of kin and thus presumed to be delivered to the patient. It is important that the
medication dispense record contains sufficient information to support these different and variable uses.
Another example of process variability is how a dispense record can be a consequence of an electronic
prescription. However, in some cases, there are dispenses without a prescription. The scope of this
document considers dispensing with or without the existence of a prescription.

There is an increasing number of scenarios for electronic capture of dispensing information and an
increasing need to exchange this information in electronic health information systems, in particular,
for purposes of clinical care, decision support, claiming and reimbursement, research, statistics,
regulation, as well as for product integrity.
This document is, thus, not about the processes but the information content. This document does not
impose any activity to be part of the dispense process, but informs what information may be captured
from each activity.
Other uses for this information are identified, not for exhaustively listing them — which would be
limiting and impractical — but to ensure that the scope of this document covers the expected scenarios
and uses.
In this way, the information in a dispense record can be correctly recorded and used in any of the
contexts of dispense, ensuring the global applicability of this document.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION ISO/TS 19293:2018(E)
Health informatics — Requirements for a record of a
dispense of a medicinal product
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements for a record of a dispense of a medicinal product.
It is intended to be adopted by detailed, implementable specifications, such as interoperability
standards, system specifications, and regulatory programs.
This document applies to information systems in which a dispense of a medicinal product is registered,
and the systems that consume such information. These systems are usually in pharmacies or other
healthcare institutions. This document does not necessarily apply to non-pharmacy shops or other non-
clinical systems (e.g. supermarket cashiers).
The scope of this document includes the activities relating to the dispensing of a medicinal product and
the information content for the capture of structured information produced in those events.
These activities include any actual dispense, cancellation or other outcome that may have occurred at
the time of planned or actual dispense. In other words, the dispense record also contains information
that medication was expected to be dispensed but was not dispensed.
2 Normative references

ISO/TS 19293:2018(E)
3.1.1
dispense, noun
series of events and activities that have the purpose of giving a medicinal product to a patient, whether
or not as part of a planned treatment, or to be used in procedures such as anaesthesia or imaging, where
the key activity is the act or effect of assigning a product to a patient
Note 1 to entry: Typically, a dispense is done at a community pharmacy when the product is provided to a patient,
but also in care settings, where the product is either dispensed for a specific patient by a pharmacy, or picked for
the patient from the ward stock, after being distributed by a pharmacy.
3.1.2
dispense event
time or event when a dispense is considered complete (which can vary across processes, jurisdictions,
settings)
3.1.3
dispensing process
sequence of activities leading up to the dispense event, i.e. the activities done by the dispenser before
the dispense is complete
3.1.4
dispense record
data set that identifies and describes the dispense activity/activities
Note 1 to entry: The above definitions enhance the definition of "dispensing" in ISO TS 17523 (where "dispensing"
is the set of activities originating from a prescription until the actual delivery of the product to the patients). First,
the present definition of dispense also includes the cases where a dispense is not a consequence of an existing
prescription. Second, this definition of dispense also separates the actual dispense from the pharmaceutical
review, validation or advice that is usually associated with the dispenser and many times done immediately
prior to the dispense. Furthermore, actions upstream or downstream of this dispensing act are considered
distribution and are not related to a specific patient, so they are not part of the definition of dispense. Example of
upstream actions are bulk supply and inventory management. Examples of downstream actions are transport of
a dispensed medication to the place of consumption, or shipment to the patient, etc.
3.1.5
dosage
intended or actual amount of medicinal product to be taken by the patient, including the dose form,
route of administration as intended to be applied to be used in the patient’s treatment
3.1.6
dispense record system
system of record of dispense
information system that collects the information about the dispense activity and provides the
information contained in the dispense record
3.1.7
medicinal product
any substance or combination of substances that may be administered to human beings (or animals) for
treating or preventing diseases, with the view of making a medical diagnosis or to restore, correct or
modify physiological functions
3.1.8
encoding
detailing a (medication) order from implicit or less specific information into more specific or
detailed information
EXAMPLE 1 “1 tablet bid” can be encoded into detailed times: “one tablet at 8:00 and one tablet at 20:00”.
EXAMPLE 2 “Paracetamol 500 mg”
