US Core Medication Profile

The US Core Medication Profile inherits from the FHIR Medication resource; refer to it for scope and usage definitions. This profile sets minimum expectations for the Medication resource to record, search, and fetch medications associated with a patient. When referencing a medication, the MedicationRequest resource can use a code or refer to this profile. It specifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets SHALL be present and constrains how the elements are used. Providing the floor for standards development for specific use cases promotes interoperability and adoption.
