DosageDetails Type: Indicates how the medication is/was taken or should be taken by the patient.
How the medication is/was taken or should be taken
Indicates how the medication is/was taken or should be taken by the patient.
Can only have a simple dose, or one or more steps in a sequence
All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())
Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.
Extensions are always sliced by (at least) url
Additional content defined by implementations
May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and managable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.
There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.
Extensions that cannot be ignored even if unrecognized
May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and managable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).
Modifier extensions allow for extensions that *cannot* be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the [definition of modifier extensions](extensibility.html#modifierExtension).
Modifier extensions are expected to modify the meaning or interpretation of the element that contains them
Full representation of the dosage instructions
The full representation of the dose of the medication included in all dosage instructions. To be used when multiple dosage instructions are included to represent complex dosing such as increasing or tapering doses.
The content of the renderedInstructions SHALL not be disagree with the dose represented in the dosage structure content. It may contain additional information not found in the dosage content.
Dosage details if it is a simple dose - a single dosage regime with no dependencies or multiple steps.
One step in a sequence of steps that comprise the dosage course
One step in a sequence of steps that comprise the dosage course.
All FHIR elements must have a @value or children or both
When the step starts. In the absence of a linked event, the step is assumed to start immediately (or after the previous step).
When the step ends. In the absence of a linked event, the step is assumed to end when the internal timing schedule termnates.
How many times to do this step (if not 1)
How many times to do this step (if not 1).
