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 a MedicationRequest resource in the context of a patient summary in an Australian context. It is based on the [AU Core MedicationRequest](http://hl7.org.au/fhir/core/StructureDefinition/au-core-medicationrequest) profile, and applies the additional requirements from [MedicationRequest (IPS)](http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/ips/StructureDefinition/MedicationRequest-uv-ips). | Values Differ
