Standards status: Trial-use Maturity Level: 1 Computable Name: AcuteCareHospitalDailyEventMedicationRequest

This profile contains Required and Must Support data elements for reporting medication request (order) information for the NHSN Acute Care Hospital (ACH) Daily Digital Quality Measure. This profile inherits from the US Core 6.1.0 MedicationRequest profile and applies capabilities from the QI Core 6.0.0 MedicationRequest profile and QI Core 6.0.0 Medication Not Requested profile.
