Background
The introduction of a structured and machine-readable Dose Syntax to create a fully interoperable, computable medication Dosage Information structure is critical to enable timely transfer of medication Dosage Information between care settings without manual transcription.
...
The objective of this two-phase delivery is to complete the introduction of Dose Syntax by Suppliers implementing changes to support the storage, transmission & consumption of medicines information in a format that aligns with the UKCore R4 Dose Syntax Standardadheres to the UK Core FHIR Assets | Element: Dosage, into their systems.
Outline Plan
The overall development and implementation of Dose Syntax will require two separate changes to be delivered by the Suppliers:
The delivery of the functionality to create and store medication Dosage Information using Dose Syntax format (this Roadmap Item).
Adoption within GP Practices and updating of Electronic Patient Records (EPR) with the new Dose Syntax capability
By implementing the change described in point 1 above, the data will be created and stored, ready for future consumption by Primary and Secondary Care systems via structured medication Dosage Information. The systems will receive DevMACs; be assured as defined in the Assurance section below, at this stage of the process and will be able to deploy this version of the system to the estate. Any new medication prescribed as a result of a new repeat regime being created, or the creation of a new acute item, will be created and stored such as to support the transmission of medicine information in a format that aligns with the UKCore R4 Dose syntax Standard, adheres to theUK Core FHIR Assets | Element: Dosageas introduced via the ISN. It is worth noting that it is not expected that legacy data will transformed during the implementation of this Epic.

Assurance Approach
The assurance of Dose Syntax will follow an approach of the following stages:
...
The Supplier will receive:
A new DevMAC for the Dose Syntax capability after system testing
Updated DevMACS for national services where appropriate to ensure the implementation of Dose Syntax has not affected existing service compliance
After DevMACs have been received, the system can be deployed to GP Practices as with any other significant changeSuppliers will be required to pass the capability assessment for the acceptance criteria as stated within the epic of this roadmap item. Also, the suppliers will have to go through risk based assurance using the Solution Assurance Risk log. This risk log with pre-identified risks will be provided to the suppliers in advance of the assurance commencement, so that the suppliers can prepare to provide the risk mitigations evidence through a combination of test evidence and online demonstrations of the implementation.
Additional clinical assurance will be required to mitigate any clinical risks associated with the implementation and clinical safety assurance process will have to be followed in addition to the above assurance for the clinical safety report and clinical hazard logs as per the DCB0129 standard.
Suppliers are accountable for the testing of their solution and are expected to have tested for the delivery of this roadmap item, as per their internal testing processes in addition to the NHS England's assurance process.
