Medication - is there a method to incorporate an image that represents the medication.

We are looking at building a patient portal, and allowing the patient to view all their medications (aka Medication Statement for home meds). It would be nice if there was a way to use the Medication resource itself to point to or support a small image of the medication itself that can be displayed to the user.

Has anyone run into this need before, and how was it handled?

Thank you,

Radu

This would be an extension - it’s not a capability supported by most systems that deal with medication today. That said, it’s common enough it probably warants a standard extension. You could use the “propose a change” link at the bottom of one of the specification pages to ask for a standard extension to be added.
