Medication
Overview
The Medication resource is used for the identification and definition of a medication for the purposes of prescribing, dispensing, and administering a medication as well as for making statements about medication use.
Each Medication has next elements:
- a medication code
Profile specific implementation guidance:
- RXNorm concepts are used and are defined as an extensible binding. USCDI V3+ recommends the National Drug Codes (NDC) as an optional terminology. They can be supplied as an additional coding element.
- Since the binding is extensible, when a code is unavailable just text is allowed.
- When the medication is compounded and is a list of ingredients, the code is still present and may contain only the text.
This resource conforms to USCDI V3 profile for Medication - refer to StructureDefinition US Core Medication. Medication response will be provided in JSON (refers to Capability Statement) format as per FHIR standard R4 version.
