description	The US Core Medication Request Profile is based upon the core FHIR MedicationRequest Resource and meets the U.S. Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) v2 'Medications' requirements. The MedicationRequest resource can be used to record a patient’s medication prescription or order. This profile sets minimum expectations for the MedicationRequest resource to record, search, and fetch a patient's medication 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 uses cases.
