## Union of http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/ips/StructureDefinition/Medication-uv-ips and http://hl7.eu/fhir/base/StructureDefinition/medication-eu-core

This is the set of resources that conform to either of the profiles Medication (IPS) (http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/ips/StructureDefinition/Medication-uv-ips) and Medication (EU core) (http://hl7.eu/fhir/base/StructureDefinition/medication-eu-core). E.g. what you have to deal with if you get resources conforming to one of them

meta | Σ | 0..1 | Meta | Metadata about the resource
implicitRules | ?!Σ | 0..1 | uri | A set of rules under which this content was created
language |  | 0..1 | code | Language of the resource content Binding: ?? (preferred): A human language.
text |  | 0..1 | Narrative | Text summary of the resource, for human interpretation This profile does not constrain the narrative in regard to content, language, or traceability to data elements
contained |  | 0..* | Resource | Contained, inline Resources
extension |  | 0..* | Extension | left: Additional content defined by implementations; right: Extension
modifierExtension | ?! | 0..* | Extension | Extensions that cannot be ignored
identifier | Σ | 0..* | Identifier | left: Business identifier for this medication; right: Identifier for the medicinal product, its generic representation, or packaged product (e.g. EMA PMS ID on product or package level)
code | S Σ | 0..1 | CodeableConcept | left: Medication that was administered or was to be administered (medication code from any code system); right: A terminology-based code for the product (e.g. SNOMED CT code) Binding: ?? (preferred): left: SNOMED CT medications (Medicinal product) or a code for absent/unknown medication; right: A coded concept that defines the type of a medication.
status | ?!Σ | 0..1 | code | active | inactive | entered-in-error Binding: ?? (required): A coded concept defining if the medication is in active use.
manufacturer | Σ | 0..1 | Reference(Organization) | left: Manufacturer of the item; right: Marketing authorisation holder of the medicinal product. If the product does not have a marketing authorisation, the manufactured information may be used. It is sufficient to populate only name and optionally an identifier of the organisation.
form | S | 0..1 | CodeableConcept | powder | tablets | capsule + Binding: ?? (preferred): SNOMED Doseform Terms
amount | Σ | 0..1 | Ratio | left: Amount of drug in package; right: Amount of the medication (for example, in a package or a vial)
ingredient | S | 0..* | BackboneElement | left: Active or inactive ingredient; right: Ingredient or a part product. For combination packs, each ingredient can be a separate manufactured item with its own ingredients, dose form, and strength
extension |  | 0..* | Extension | Additional content defined by implementations
modifierExtension | ?!Σ | 0..* | Extension | Extensions that cannot be ignored even if unrecognized
item[x] | S | 1..1 |  | The actual ingredient or content Binding: ?? (example): SNOMED CT drug substances
itemCodeableConcept |  |  | CodeableConcept |
itemReference |  |  | Reference(Substance | Medication) |
isActive |  | 0..1 | boolean | left: Active ingredient indicator; right: Active ingredient indicator. By default, only active ingredients are expected - therefore, the default value is true.
strength | S | 0..1 | Ratio | left: Quantity of ingredient present; right: Amount of substance in product (presentation or concentration strength)
extension |  | 0..* | Extension | Additional content defined by implementations Slice: Unordered, Open by value:url
