| MedicationAdministration | http://hl7.org/fhir/resource-types | MedicationAdministration | Describes the event of a patient consuming or otherwise being administered a medication. This may be as simple as swallowing a tablet or it may be a long running infusion. Related resources tie this event to the authorizing prescription, and the specific encounter between patient and health care practitioner. |
| MedicationDispense | http://hl7.org/fhir/resource-types | MedicationDispense | Indicates that a medication product is to be or has been dispensed for a named person/patient.

The resource is called "MedicationRequest" rather than "MedicationPrescription" or "MedicationOrder" to generalize the use across inpatient and outpatient settings, including care plans, etc., and to harmonize with workflow patterns. |
| MedicationStatement | http://hl7.org/fhir/resource-types | MedicationStatement | A record of a medication that is being consumed by a patient. A MedicationStatement may indicate that the patient may be taking the medication now, or has taken the medication in the past or will be taking the medication in the future. The source of this information can be the patient, significant other (such as a family member or spouse), or a clinician. A common scenario where this information is captured is during the history taking process during a patient visit or stay. The medication information may come from sources such as the patient's memory, from a prescription bottle, or from a list of medications the patient, clinician or other party maintains The primary difference between a medication statement and a medication administration is that the medication administration has complete administration information and is based on actual administration information from the person who administered the medication. A medication statement is often, if not always, less specific. There is no required date/time when the medication was administered, in fact we only know that a source has reported the patient is taking this medication, where details such as time, quantity, or rate or even medication product may be incomplete or missing or less precise. As stated earlier, the medication statement information may come from the patient's memory, from a prescription bottle or from a list of medications the patient, clinician or other party maintains. Medication administration is more formal and is not missing detailed information. |

| Resource | http://hl7.org/fhir/resource-types | Resource | This is the base resource type for everything. |
| RiskAssessment | http://hl7.org/fhir/resource-types | RiskAssessment | An assessment of the likely outcome(s) for a patient or other subject as well as the likelihood of each outcome. |
| Schedule | http://hl7.org/fhir/resource-types | Schedule | A container for slots of time that may be available for booking appointments. |
| SearchParameter | http://hl7.org/fhir/resource-types | SearchParameter | A search parameter that defines a named search item that can be used to search/filter on a resource. |
| Sequence | http://hl7.org/fhir/resource-types | Sequence | Raw data describing a biological sequence. |
| ServiceDefinition | http://hl7.org/fhir/resource-types | ServiceDefinition | The ServiceDefinition describes a unit of decision support functionality that is made available as a service, such as immunization modules or drug-drug interaction checking. |
| Slot | http://hl7.org/fhir/resource-types | Slot | A slot of time on a schedule that may be available for booking appointments. |
| Specimen | http://hl7.org/fhir/resource-types | Specimen | A sample to be used for analysis. |
| StructureDefinition | http://hl7.org/fhir/resource-types | StructureDefinition | A definition of a FHIR structure. This resource is used to describe the underlying resources, data types defined in FHIR, and also for describing extensions and constraints on resources and data types. |
| StructureMap | http://hl7.org/fhir/resource-types | StructureMap | A Map of relationships between 2 structures that can be used to transform data. |
| Subscription | http://hl7.org/fhir/resource-types | Subscription | The subscription resource is used to define a push based subscription from a server to another system. Once a subscription is registered with the server, the server checks every resource that is created or updated, and if the resource matches the given criteria, it sends a message on the defined "channel" so that another system is able to take an appropriate action. |
| Substance | http://hl7.org/fhir/resource-types | Substance | A homogeneous material with a definite composition. |
| SupplyDelivery | http://hl7.org/fhir/resource-types | SupplyDelivery | Record of delivery of what is supplied. |
| SupplyRequest | http://hl7.org/fhir/resource-types | SupplyRequest | A record of a request for a medication, substance or device used in the healthcare setting. |
| Task | http://hl7.org/fhir/resource-types | Task | A task to be performed. |

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:
| Level | A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies |
| Source | The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere) |
| Code | The code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract') |
| Display | The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application |
| Definition | An explanation of the meaning of the concept |
| Comments | Additional notes about how to use the code |
