| description | This profile represents the constraints applied to the Medication resource by the International Patient Summary (IPS) FHIR Implementation Guide, based on FHIR R4. A medication is described in the patient summary as an instance of a Medication resource constrained by this profile. | This profile sets minimum expectations for the Medication resource common to most of the use cases.
This profile is adapted from the MPD work. | |
