## Logical Model: Medication Dispense (model) 

| | |
| :--- | :--- |
| *Official URL*:https://www.ehealth.fgov.be/standards/fhir/medication/StructureDefinition/BeModelMedicationDispense | *Version*:1.1.0 |
| Active as of 2026-03-25 | *Computable Name*:BeModelMedicationDispense |

 
This is the logical model for the Dispense Record entry - the information that can be captured upon the act of dispensing - in a hospital pharmacy, or a community pharmacy. This is not for a future dispense, rather a record of an actual dispense. 

### Relationship with other elements:

The Medication Line relates to the other data structures in the following way:

* [Medication Line](StructureDefinition-BeModelMedicationLine.md) may refer to a [Medication Dispense](StructureDefinition-BeModelMedicationDispense.md) that occurs in the treatment.
* [Medication Dispense](StructureDefinition-BeModelMedicationDispense.md) may be the trigger for creating or updating a [Medication Line](StructureDefinition-BeModelMedicationLine.md).

**Usages:**

* This Logical Model is not used by any profiles in this Implementation Guide
