| Realm | uv |
| Authority | hl7 |
| Description | STU3: `MedicationAdministration.medication[x]` additional types (Reference(http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Medication)) additional types from child elements (display, identifier, reference) |
| Purpose | This extension is part of the cross-version definitions generated to enable use of the
element `MedicationAdministration.medication[x]` as defined in FHIR STU3
in FHIR R5.
The source element is defined as:
`MedicationAdministration.medication[x]` 1..1 `CodeableConcept, Reference(http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Medication)`
Across FHIR versions, the element set has been mapped as:
* STU3: `MedicationAdministration.medication[x]` 1..1 `CodeableConcept, Reference(http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Medication)`
* R4: `MedicationAdministration.medication[x]` 1..1 `CodeableConcept, Reference(http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Medication)`
* R4B: `MedicationAdministration.medication[x]` 1..1 `CodeableConcept, Reference(http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Medication)`
* R5: `MedicationAdministration.medication` 1..1 `CodeableReference(http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Medication)`
Following are the generation technical comments:
Element `MedicationAdministration.medication[x]` is mapped to FHIR R5 element `MedicationAdministration.medication` as `RelatedTo`.
The mappings for `MedicationAdministration.medication[x]` do not cover the following types: Reference.
The mappings for `MedicationAdministration.medication[x]` do not cover the following types based on type expansion: display, identifier, reference. |
