3 Medication is not used, this is as agreed
The patient has been prescribed ferrous fumarate for anaemia.
- MA: ferrous fumarate 100 mg tablet, 1 tablet twice per week, to be taken half an hour before meals
The medication starts on 4 June 2026.
On 12 August 2026, a follow-up check shows that the patient no longer has anaemia, and the doctor decides to stop the medication. At a subsequent consultation, the doctor records during medication verification that the patient has indeed stopped taking this medication from 12 August 2026.

* When stopping medication in accordance with the MA/TA, it does not matter whether the data element MedicationUseStopType is filled with the value ‘discontinued’ or left empty. Both situations are processed correctly on the receiving end and indicate the same type of stop.
If the medication is stopped not in accordance with the MA/TA, the data element MedicationUseStopType is expected to be filled with the value ‘discontinued’.
4 Correcting inadvertently outstanding medication (‘orphan’) during medication verification
A patient was admitted to hospital for acute treatment. Several medicines were prescribed during the admission. A medicine that was intended to be temporary was accidentally not stopped upon discharge. The corresponding MA was recorded without an endDateTime. This MA is therefore an ‘orphan’: an incorrectly active building block.
A few weeks after discharge, the patient visits their GP for a check-up. During medication verification, the GP notices the incorrectly outstanding MA and records a stop-MA for this medication. The stop-MA is made available and sent to the prescribing specialist.
