Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute).</td></tr><tr><td>MedicationRequest.text (text)</td><td><a href="http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#equivalent" title="equivalent">is equivalent to</a></td><td>MedicationRequest.text</td><td>Element `MedicationRequest.text` is mapped to FHIR R4 element `MedicationRequest.text` as `Equivalent`.

It is expected that the type of requester will be restricted for different stages of a MedicationRequest. For example, Proposals can be created by a patient, relatedPerson, Practitioner or Device. Plans can be created by Practitioners, Patients, RelatedPersons and Devices. Original orders can be created by a Practitioner only.
An instance-order is an instantiation of a request or order and may be used to populate Medication Administration Record.
This element is labeled as a modifier because the intent alters when and how the resource is actually applicable.</td></tr><tr><td>MedicationRequest.category (category)</td><td><a href="http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#equivalent" title="equivalent">is equivalent to</a></td><td>MedicationRequest.category</td><td>Element `MedicationRequest.category` is mapped to FHIR R4 element `MedicationRequest.category` as `SourceIsNarrowerThanTarget`.</td></tr><tr><td>MedicationRequest.priority (priority)</td><td><a href="http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#equivalent" title="equivalent">is equivalent to</a></td><td>MedicationRequest.priority</td><td>Element `MedicationRequest.priority` is mapped to FHIR R4 element `MedicationRequest.priority` as `Equivalent`.</td></tr><tr><td>MedicationRequest.medication[x] (medication[x])</td><td><a href="http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#equivalent" title="equivalent">is equivalent to</a></td><td>MedicationRequest.medication[x]</td><td>Element `MedicationRequest.medication[x]` is mapped to FHIR R4 element `MedicationRequest.medication[x]` as `Equivalent`.
The target context `MedicationRequest.medication[x]` is a choice-type element and cannot directly hold extensions. The context is moved up to parent element `MedicationRequest`.
If only a code is specified, then it needs to be a code for a specific product. If more information is required, then the use of the medication resource is recommended. For example, if you require form or lot number or if the medication is compounded or extemporaneously prepared, then you must reference the Medication resource. .</td></tr><tr><td>MedicationRequest.subject (subject)</td><td><a href="http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#equivalent" title="equivalent">is equivalent to</a></td><td>MedicationRequest.subject</td><td>Element `MedicationRequest.subject` is mapped to FHIR R4 element `MedicationRequest.subject` as `Equivalent`.
The subject on a medication request is mandatory.

The mappings for `MedicationRequest.context` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: display, identifier, reference.
The standard extension `alternate-reference` has been mapped as the representation of FHIR STU3 element `MedicationRequest.context` with unmapped reference targets: EpisodeOfCare.

It is expected that the type of requester will be restricted for different stages of a MedicationRequest. For example, Proposals can be created by a patient, relatedPerson, Practitioner or Device. Plans can be created by Practitioners, Patients, RelatedPersons and Devices. Original orders can be created by a Practitioner only.</td></tr><tr><td>MedicationRequest.recorder (recorder)</td><td><a href="http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#equivalent" title="equivalent">is equivalent to</a></td><td>MedicationRequest.recorder</td><td>Element `MedicationRequest.recorder` is mapped to FHIR R4 element `MedicationRequest.recorder` as `Equivalent`.</td></tr><tr><td>MedicationRequest.reasonCode (reasonCode)</td><td><a href="http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#equivalent" title="equivalent">is equivalent to</a></td><td>MedicationRequest.reasonCode</td><td>Element `MedicationRequest.reasonCode` is mapped to FHIR R4 element `MedicationRequest.reasonCode` as `Equivalent`.

This is a reference to a condition or observation that is the reason for the medication order. If only a code exists, use reasonCode.</td></tr><tr><td>MedicationRequest.note (note)</td><td><a href="http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#equivalent" title="equivalent">is equivalent to</a></td><td>MedicationRequest.note</td><td>Element `MedicationRequest.note` is mapped to FHIR R4 element `MedicationRequest.note` as `Equivalent`.</td></tr><tr><td>MedicationRequest.dosageInstruction (dosageInstruction)</td><td><a href="http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#equivalent" title="equivalent">is equivalent to</a></td><td>MedicationRequest.dosageInstruction</td><td>Element `MedicationRequest.dosageInstruction` is mapped to FHIR R4 element `MedicationRequest.dosageInstruction` as `Equivalent`.
There are examples where a medication request may include the option of an oral dose or an Intravenous or Intramuscular dose. For example, "Ondansetron 8mg orally or IV twice a day as needed for nausea" or "Compazine® (prochlorperazine) 5-10mg PO or 25mg PR bid prn nausea or vomiting". In these cases, two medication requests would be created that could be grouped together. The decision on which dose and route of administration to use is based on the patient's condition at the time the dose is needed.</td></tr><tr><td>MedicationRequest.dispenseRequest (dispenseRequest)</td><td><a href="http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#wider" title="wider">maps to wider concept</a></td><td>MedicationRequest.dispenseRequest</td><td>Element `MedicationRequest.dispenseRequest` is mapped to FHIR R4 element `MedicationRequest.dispenseRequest` as `Equivalent`.</td></tr><tr><td>MedicationRequest.dispenseRequest.validityPeriod (validityPeriod)</td><td><a href="http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#equivalent" title="equivalent">is equivalent to</a></td><td>MedicationRequest.dispenseRequest.validityPeriod</td><td>Element `MedicationRequest.dispenseRequest.validityPeriod` is mapped to FHIR R4 element `MedicationRequest.dispenseRequest.validityPeriod` as `Equivalent`.
It reflects the prescribers' perspective for the validity of the prescription. Dispenses must not be made against the prescription outside of this period. The lower-bound of the Dispensing Window signifies the earliest date that the prescription can be filled for the first time. If an upper-bound is not specified then the Prescription is open-ended or will default to a stale-date based on regulations.</td></tr><tr><td>MedicationRequest.dispenseRequest.numberOfRepeatsAllowed (numberOfRepeatsAllowed)</td><td><a href="http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#equivalent" title="equivalent">is equivalent to</a></td><td>MedicationRequest.dispenseRequest.numberOfRepeatsAllowed</td><td>Element `MedicationRequest.dispenseRequest.numberOfRepeatsAllowed` is mapped to FHIR R4 element `MedicationRequest.dispenseRequest.numberOfRepeatsAllowed` as `SourceIsNarrowerThanTarget`.

In some situations, this attribute may be used instead of quantity to identify the amount supplied by how long it is expected to last, rather than the physical quantity issued, e.g. 90 days supply of medication (based on an ordered dosage) When possible, it is always better to specify quantity, as this tends to be more precise. expectedSupplyDuration will always be an estimate that can be influenced by external factors.</td></tr><tr><td>MedicationRequest.dispenseRequest.performer (performer)</td><td><a href="http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#equivalent" title="equivalent">is equivalent to</a></td><td>MedicationRequest.dispenseRequest.performer</td><td>Element `MedicationRequest.dispenseRequest.performer` is mapped to FHIR R4 element `MedicationRequest.dispenseRequest.performer` as `Equivalent`.</td></tr><tr><td>MedicationRequest.substitution (substitution)</td><td><a href="http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#wider" title="wider">maps to wider concept</a></td><td>MedicationRequest.substitution</td><td>Element `MedicationRequest.substitution` is mapped to FHIR R4 element `MedicationRequest.substitution` as `Equivalent`.</td></tr><tr><td>MedicationRequest.substitution.allowed (allowed)</td><td><a href="http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#equivalent" title="equivalent">is equivalent to</a></td><td>MedicationRequest.substitution.allowed[x]</td><td>Element `MedicationRequest.substitution.allowed` is mapped to FHIR R4 element `MedicationRequest.substitution.allowed[x]` as `Equivalent`.
The target context `MedicationRequest.substitution.allowed[x]` is a choice-type element and cannot directly hold extensions. The context is moved up to parent element `MedicationRequest.substitution`.
This element is labeled as a modifer because whether substitution is allow or not cannot be ignored.</td></tr><tr><td>MedicationRequest.substitution.reason (reason)</td><td><a href="http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#equivalent" title="equivalent">is equivalent to</a></td><td>MedicationRequest.substitution.reason</td><td>Element `MedicationRequest.substitution.reason` is mapped to FHIR R4 element `MedicationRequest.substitution.reason` as `Equivalent`.</td></tr><tr><td>MedicationRequest.priorPrescription (priorPrescription)</td><td><a href="http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#equivalent" title="equivalent">is equivalent to</a></td><td>MedicationRequest.priorPrescription</td><td>Element `MedicationRequest.priorPrescription` is mapped to FHIR R4 element `MedicationRequest.priorPrescription` as `Equivalent`.</td></tr><tr><td>MedicationRequest.detectedIssue (detectedIssue)</td><td><a href="http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#equivalent" title="equivalent">is equivalent to</a></td><td>MedicationRequest.detectedIssue</td><td>Element `MedicationRequest.detectedIssue` is mapped to FHIR R4 element `MedicationRequest.detectedIssue` as `Equivalent`.</td></tr><tr><td>MedicationRequest.eventHistory (eventHistory)</td><td><a href="http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#equivalent" title="equivalent">is equivalent to</a></td><td>MedicationRequest.eventHistory</td><td>Element `MedicationRequest.eventHistory` is mapped to FHIR R4 element `MedicationRequest.eventHistory` as `Equivalent`.
This may not include provenances for all versions of the request – only those deemed “relevant” or important. This SHALL NOT include the Provenance associated with this current version of the resource. (If that provenance is deemed to be a “relevant” change, it will need to be added as part of a later update. Until then, it can be queried directly as the Provenance that points to this version using _revinclude All Provenances should have some historical version of this Request as their subject.).</td></tr></table><hr/><p><b>Group 2 </b>Mapping from <code>http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/MedicationRequest|3.0.2</code> to <a href="StructureDefinition-ext-R3-MedicationRequest.definition.html">STU3: Protocol or definition (new)version: 0.1.0)</a></p><table class="grid"><tr><td><b>Source Code</b></td><td><b>Relationship</b></td><td><b>Target Code</b></td><td><b>Comment</b></td></tr><tr><td>MedicationRequest.definition (definition)</td><td><a href="http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#equivalent" title="equivalent">is equivalent to</a></td><td>Extension (STU3: Protocol or definition (new))</td><td>Element `MedicationRequest.definition` has a context of MedicationRequest based on following the parent source element upwards and mapping to `MedicationRequest`.

If only a code is specified, then it needs to be a code for a specific product. If more information is required, then the use of the medication resource is recommended. For example, if you require form or lot number or if the medication is compounded or extemporaneously prepared, then you must reference the Medication resource. ."/>

There are examples where a medication request may include the option of an oral dose or an Intravenous or Intramuscular dose. For example, "Ondansetron 8mg orally or IV twice a day as needed for nausea" or "Compazine® (prochlorperazine) 5-10mg PO or 25mg PR bid prn nausea or vomiting". In these cases, two medication requests would be created that could be grouped together. The decision on which dose and route of administration to use is based on the patient's condition at the time the dose is needed."/>

It reflects the prescribers' perspective for the validity of the prescription. Dispenses must not be made against the prescription outside of this period. The lower-bound of the Dispensing Window signifies the earliest date that the prescription can be filled for the first time.

In some situations, this attribute may be used instead of quantity to identify the amount supplied by how long it is expected to last, rather than the physical quantity issued, e.g. 90 days supply of medication (based on an ordered dosage) When possible, it is always better to specify quantity, as this tends to be more precise. expectedSupplyDuration will always be an estimate that can be influenced by external factors."/>
