## Logical Model: Medication prescription (model) 

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

 
Logical model for medication prescription (or some other form of order) 

### Relationship with other elements:

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

* A [Medication Prescription](StructureDefinition-BeModelMedicationPrescription.md) may be based on a [Medication Line](StructureDefinition-BeModelMedicationLine.md)
* A [Medication Prescription](StructureDefinition-BeModelMedicationPrescription.md) may also be initiating a [Medication Line](StructureDefinition-BeModelMedicationLine.md)
* [Medication Dispense](StructureDefinition-BeModelMedicationDispense.md) may be associated with a [Medication Prescription](StructureDefinition-BeModelMedicationPrescription.md)

**Usages:**

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

You can also check for [usages in the FHIR IG Statistics](https://packages2.fhir.org/xig/hl7.fhir.be.medication|current/StructureDefinition/BeModelMedicationPrescription)
