Health informatics — Requirements for a record of a dispense of a medicinal product
ISO/TS 19293:2018 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. ISO/TS 19293:2018 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 ISO/TS 19293:2018 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.

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.

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 a
