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