EHDSMedicationPrescription to FHIR MedicationRequestEuMpd Mapping

EHDSMedicationPrescription → MedicationRequestEuMpd
Ongoing alignment: The models are expected to continue evolving, with updates incorporated into this Implementation Guide to maintain alignment with the EHDS Implementing Acts.

EHDSMedicationPrescription → MedicationRequestEuMpd

This page explains how conceptual elements from the EHDS logical model are expressed in the corresponding FHIR MedicationRequestEuMpd profile used by this Implementation Guide.
