The following data elements must be present for pharmacy data:
- Generic name (or brand name).
- Strength/dose.
- Route.
- Dispensed or shipped date (i.e., the date when the medication was dispensed or shipped).
Medical record documentation that an individual was prescribed a medication, or that lists current/active medications, does not meet criteria. The dispensed date is required. For mailed prescriptions, the shipped date is considered the dispensed date. Â
