Draft as of 2018-08-22 Computable Name: QICoreMedication

Profile of Medication for decision support/quality metrics. Defines the core set of elements and extensions for quality rule and measure authors.

Usage

See the patterns page for implementation and usage patterns. 

define function "GetMedicationCode"(request MedicationRequest):
  if request.medication is CodeableConcept then
    request.medication as CodeableConcept
  else
    (singleton from ([Medication] M where M.id = GetId((request.medication as Reference).reference))).code

Examples
