description | 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 sets minimum expectations for the MedicationStatement resource common to most of the use cases. This profile is adapted from the MPD work. |
