BS PD CEN ISO/TS 19256:2017 defines the required characteristics for any MPD-system to support usecases in healthcare.These characteristics include the medication concepts, identifiers and relationships to form a kind ofstructure that supports the use cases.In order to support the use cases, an MPD-system needs to:

be comprehensive and exhaustive as far as possible ? unless all medicinal products that are inscope are included, other systems cannot fully rely on the MPD-system to supply the necessaryinformation, and some amount of duplicated registration of information will still be necessary;
contain the information in a consistent and appropriate structure according to the ISO IDMPStandards (as described in this Technical Specification) and with an appropriate level of detail.
