Signed vs. Draft Medication Orders
Theis_doc_med field controls whether a medication order created via POST is signed immediately or saved as an unsigned draft.
is_doc_med | Behavior |
|---|---|
true | The order is automatically signed on creation. signed_date and signed_by will be populated. The medication appears on the patient’s active medication list immediately. |
false | The order is saved as an unsigned draft. signed_date and signed_by will be null. The order does not appear as an active medication until it is signed. |
Note: Only signed medication orders (created withis_doc_med: true) can be discontinued via the Discontinued Medications endpoint. Attempting to discontinue a thread that contains only unsigned drafts will return a400error.
