 description | Defines constraints and extensions on the Medication resource for the minimal set of data to query and retrieve patient retrieving patient's medication information. | When referencing a medication, the MedicationRequest resource can either use a code or refer to a Medication resource. This profile sets minimum expectations for the Medication resource to record, search, and fetch medications associated with a patient to promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation. It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets **SHALL** be present in the resource when using this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific use cases |
