### StructureDefinition: ADHA Core MedicationRequest [Active]

The purpose of this profile is to provide a core representation of a request for the supply of a medication and the instructions for administration of that medication to a patient for the electronic exchange of health information between individuals, healthcare providers, and the My Health Record system infrastructure in Australia.

This profile identifies the additional constraints, extensions, and value sets that build on and extend MedicationRequest that are supported.

Where a more specific MedicationRequest profile is applicable, e.g. prescription, an implementation SHALL ensure the resource conforms to that specific profile.

This profile is designed to set a core MedicationRequest standard for:

- Query medication orders or prescriptions for a patient (current and historical)
- Record or update medication orders or prescriptions for a patient

#### Profile specific guidance

- See the Medicine information section for guidance.
- MedicationRequest resources can represent a medication using either a code, or reference a Medication resource.
  - When referencing a Medication resource, it is preferred the resource is contained but it may be an external resource.

#### Boundaries and relationships

This profile is not referenced by another profile in this implementation guide.

#### Formal Views of Profile Content

The purpose of this profile is to provide a core representation of a request for the supply of a medication and the instructions for administration of that medication to a patient for the electronic exchange of health information between individuals, healthcare providers, and the My Health Record system infrastructure in Australia.

This profile builds on AUBaseMedicationRequest.

This profile was published on 2023-08-07 09:41:43+1000 as a active by Australian Digital Health Agency.
