## Union of http://hl7.eu/fhir/eps/StructureDefinition/MedicationStatement-eu-eps and http://hl7.eu/fhir/eps/StructureDefinition/MedicationStatement-eu-eps

This is the set of resources that conform to either of the profiles Medication Statement (EPS) (http://hl7.eu/fhir/eps/StructureDefinition/MedicationStatement-eu-eps) and MedicationStatement (EPS) (http://hl7.eu/fhir/eps/StructureDefinition/MedicationStatement-eu-eps). E.g. what you have to deal with if you get resources conforming to one of them
