## Union of http://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/StructureDefinition/qicore-medicationadministration and http://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/StructureDefinition/qicore-medicationadministration

This is the set of resources that conform to either of the profiles QICore MedicationAdministration (http://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/StructureDefinition/qicore-medicationadministration) and QICore MedicationAdministration (http://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/StructureDefinition/qicore-medicationadministration). E.g. what you have to deal with if you get resources conforming to one of them
