description	This profile sets minimum expectations for a MedicationStatement resource in the context of a patient summary in an Australian context. It is based on the [AU Core MedicationStatement](https://build.fhir.org/ig/hl7au/au-fhir-core/StructureDefinition-au-core-medicationstatement.html) profile, and applies the additional requirements from [MedicationStatement (IPS)](http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/ips/StructureDefinition/MedicationStatement-uv-ips).
