4.12.6 Resource MedicationStatement - Formal Definitions

Formal definitions for the elements in the MedicationStatement resource.

MedicationStatement
Definition	A record of medication being taken by a patient, or that the medication has been given to a patient where the record is the result of a report from the patient or another clinician.
Control	1..1
Invariants	Defined on this element Inv-1: Reason not given is only permitted if wasNotGiven is true (xpath: not(exists(f:reasonNotGiven)) or f:wasNotGiven='true')
MedicationStatement.identifier
Definition	External identifier - FHIR will generate its own internal IDs (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.
