FHIR MedicationRequest (Orders)

The Medication, MedicationOrder, MedicationRequest and MedicationStatement data models combine to model a patient's reported and prescribed medication orders and instructions. Medication provides information about each medication, independent of a patient. The MedicationOrder and MedicationRequest resources give a summary of the medication orders placed for the patient along with their status. The MedicationStatement resource gives a full-picture summary of all medications a patient may be taking, whether they are prescriptions or patient-reported medications. The MedicationDispense resource is available only to organizations in the Netherlands, and indicates how a medication product is to be or has been dispensed for a patient.
