>Full Description
>Abbreviation (local)
>International SNOMED CT code
>Abbreviation/Code (HL7)

>
>three a day - TID - SNOMED CT code - HL7 code/abbreviation
>
>milligram - mg - SNOMED CT code - HL7 code/abbreviation
>
>Oral - PO - SNOMED CT code - HL7 code/abbreviation
>
>Tablet - TAB - SNOMED CT code - HL7 code/abbreviation
>
>
>Some GNU Health users might decide to use the the same 'local abbreviation' 
as 
>the 'HL7 abbreviation' but I think it best to keep them as separate data 
>elements.

>A medication message might appear as:
>
>Medication <code for Amoxicillin 250mg capsules> Dose <250 mg> Route <PO> 
>Frequency <TID>

>I think that this is in line with your thinking :-)
