Unfortunately you have to study it yourself 😩
right - that is what I assume. What I meant was: in that model, 'dose'
means 'amount of active ingredient per delivery unit of manufactured
medication'. I.e. '5mg Morphine' is tablets that have 5mg Morphine in
them. But in clinical /use/, the term 'dose' or 'dosage' means what you
give to the patient at any one time. That might be 10mg Morphine, i.e.
two tablets. Having to record the total dose, and usually, the number of
delivered physical units to achieve it is what complicates
representation within the EHR.
The actual use of UCUM in ISO 11240 would be very interesting to see. Is
there any visible online resource describing it?
