A homogeneous material with a definite composition.
This resource allows for a material to be represented. The resource can be used to represent either a kind of a substance - e.g. a formulation commonly used for treating patients, or it can be used to describe a particular package of a known substance (e.g. bottle, jar, packet).
The composition of the material can be specified in terms of a mix of other materials, including with precise amounts if required.
A medication is a substance that is packaged and used as an administered medication. The medication resource uses the substance resource to represent the actual ingredients of a medication.
This resource is referenced by ActivityDefinition, AdverseEvent, BiologicallyDerivedProduct, CarePlan, CatalogEntry, ChargeItem, ChargeItemDefinition, ClinicalUseIssue, Contract, DiagnosticReport, Group, Specimen, SpecimenDefinition, itself and SupplyDelivery.
This resource does not implement any patterns.
