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
