Resource Profile: Medication Statement (IPS)

This profile represents the constraints applied to the MedicationStatement resource by the International Patient Summary (IPS) FHIR Implementation Guide, based on FHIR R4. A record of a medication statement is represented in the patient summary as an instance of a MedicationStatement resource constrained by this profile.

This profile constrains the representation of a medication statement related to the patient, in the context of the international patient summary as specified by the IPS project of HL7 International.

Usage:

• Use this Resource Profile: Bundle - IPS
• Refer to this Resource Profile: Composition (IPS)
