## Resource Profile: SGHI MedicationRequest

Official URL: https://fhir.slade360.co.ke/fhir/StructureDefinition/medicationrequest | Version: 0.1.0
Draft as of 2026-04-27 | Computable Name: SGHIMedicationRequest

An order or request for both supply of the medication and the instructions for administration of the medication to a patient. The resource is called 'MedicationRequest' rather than 'MedicationPrescription' or 'MedicationOrder' to generalize the use across inpatient and outpatient settings, including care plans, etc., and to harmonize with workflow patterns.

Usages:

- Refer to this Profile: SGHI Appointment Profile, SGHI DiagnosticReport, SGHI DocumentReference Profile., SGHI Encounter... Show 4 more, SGHI Medication Dispense, SGHI MedicationRequest, SGHI Observation and SGHI ServiceRequest
- Examples for this Profile: MedicationRequest/ExampleSGHIMedicationRequest
