This specification provides the foundation for cross-border product description and identification in the common uses that have been identified by the UNICOM projecct - Prescription, Dispense, Patient Summary - and including the product information retrieval and equivalent finding for substitution handling. This provides testable specifications for cross-border product description and identification, as well as some test cases for evaluating the cross-border identification of products for UNICOM.

This specification relies on IHE International profiles and is expected to be appended back to IHE International profiles, in all pertinent aspects.

### Conformance Expectations

IHE uses the normative words: Shall, Should, and May according to standards conventions.

#### Must Support

The use of `mustSupport` in StructureDefinition profiles equivalent to the IHE use of R2 as defined in Appendix Z.

mustSupport of true - only has a meaning on items that are minimal cardinality of zero (0), and applies only to the source actor populating the data. The source actor shall populate the elements marked with MustSupport, if the concept is supported by the actor, a value exists, and security and consent rules permit. The consuming actors should handle these elements being populated or being absent/empty. Note that sometimes mustSupport will appear on elements with a minimal cardinality greater than zero (0), this is due to inheritance from a less constrained profile.
