The pharmacies that are preferred for dispensing prescribed medications. A patient might prefer their local pharmacy. A provider in a given practice may prefer a pharmacy near their clinic. Or facilities may have a preference to use an in-house pharmacy. These preferences may be represented using this extension on several resource types, and are expected to be inputs into a process that determines which pharmacy is ultimately used to dispense a medication. That process may include considering drug formularies, pharmacy operating hours, pharmacy inventory, practitioner preferences, patient preferences, etc.

The pharmacy that is preferred for dispensing prescribed medications.

There may be multiple preferred pharmacies for different types of drugs. For example, they may have one pharmacy that is preferred for general outpatient medications, but another pharmacy that is preferred for specialty oncology medications.

Identifies the categories of medications for which this pharmacy is preferred.

For example, one pharmacy might be preferred oncology medications, while another pharmacy is preferred for general outpatient medications.

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.
