For example, a particular infusion pump.dosage 0..1Dosage (TBD)Describes the medication dosage information details e.g. dose, rate, site, route, etc.effectiveTime[x] 1..1DateTime | interval<DateTime>A specific date/time or interval of time during which the administration took place (or did not take place, when the 'notGiven' attribute is true). For many administrations, such as swallowing a tablet the use of dateTime is more appropriate.encounter 0..1EncounterThe visit, admission or other contact between patient and health care provider the medication administration was performed as part of.identifier 0..*List<Identifier>External identifier - FHIR will generate its own internal identifiers (probably URLs) which do not need to be explicitly managed by the resource. The identifier here is one that would be used by another non-FHIR system - for example an automated medication pump would provide a record each time it operated; an administration while the patient was off the ward might be made with a different system and entered after the event. Particularly important if these records have to be updated.medication[x] 1..1Concept | MedicationIdentifies the medication that was administered. This is either a link to a resource representing the details of the medication or a simple attribute carrying a code that identifies the medication from a known list of medications.Binding: Medication Clinical Drug (RxNorm) (Preferred)
