DescriptionThe form in which a compounded drug or active ingredient can be dispensed to the patient. This is a broad data exchange subset that is intended to support semantic interoperability and conformance testing. It is recommended that jurisdictions define and implement more specific clinically curated subsets that contain a portion of these concepts for data capture at the point of care for their specific use case. This subset was defined by the PrescribeIT project from the Canadian Clinical Drug Data Set. This resource is an informative value set; a normative subset containing the expanded values can be found on Canada Health Infoway's [Terminology Server](https://infocentral.infoway-inforoute.ca/en/tools/standards-tools/terminology-server).
