description: This profile defines a medication request structure that localises core concepts, including identifiers and terminology, for use in an Australian context. The purpose of this profile is to provide national level agreement on core localised concepts. This profile does not force conformance to core localised concepts. It enables implementers and modellers to make their own rules, i.e. [profiling](http://hl7.org/fhir/profiling.html), about how to support these concepts for specific implementation needs. package_name: hl7.fhir.au.base derivation: constraint name: AUBaseMedicationRequest type: MedicationRequest elements: substitution: short: Brand substitution details index: 22 elements: allowed: short: Brand substitution flag choices: [] index: 24 reason: binding: {strength: preferred, valueSet: 'https://healthterminologies.gov.au/fhir/ValueSet/medicine-substitution-reason-1'} index: 25 medication[x]: elements: coding: extensions: medicationClass: {url: 'http://hl7.org.au/fhir/StructureDefinition/medication-type', max: 1, type: Extension, index: 9} elements: extension: index: 8 slicing: rules: open discriminator: - {path: url, type: value} min: null slices: medicationClass: match: {url: null} schema: {type: Extension, url: 'http://hl7.org.au/fhir/StructureDefinition/medication-type', index: 9} max: 1 text: {short: Medication primary text, index: 10} dispenseRequest: short: Requested dispensing index: 20 elements: numberOfRepeatsAllowed: {short: Maximum repeats authorised, index: 21} reasonCode: binding: {strength: preferred, valueSet: 'https://healthterminologies.gov.au/fhir/ValueSet/reason-for-request-1'} index: 18 medicationCodeableConcept: type: CodeableConcept short: Coded Prescribed Medication choiceOf: medication index: 7 slicing: slices: medicationCodeableConcept: match: {} schema: {type: CodeableConcept, short: Coded Prescribed Medication, choiceOf: medication, index: 7} min: 0 authoredOn: {short: Created date, index: 17} extension: index: 0 slicing: rules: open discriminator: - {path: url, type: value} min: null slices: subsidisedConcurrentSupply: match: {url: null} schema: {type: Extension, url: 'http://hl7.org.au/fhir/StructureDefinition/subsidised-concurrent-supply', index: 1} max: 1 supportingInformation: index: 14 slicing: rules: open ordered: false discriminator: - {path: resolve(), type: profile} min: null slices: bodyHeight: match: {} schema: type: Reference short: Observation of Body Height refers: ['http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/bodyheight'] index: 15 max: 1 bodyWeight: match: {} schema: type: Reference short: Observation of Body Weight refers: ['http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/bodyweight'] index: 16 max: 1 dosageInstruction: {type: Dosage, index: 19} identifier: {type: Identifier, short: External ids for this request, index: 2} medicationReference: type: Reference short: Prescribed Medication choiceOf: medication refers: ['http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Medication'] index: 13 slicing: slices: medicationReference: match: {} schema: type: Reference short: Prescribed Medication choiceOf: medication refers: ['http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Medication'] index: 13 min: 0 medication: short: Prescribed Medication choices: [medicationReference] index: 12 slicing: slices: medicationReference: match: {} schema: short: Prescribed Medication choices: [medicationReference] index: 12 min: 0 package_version: 4.2.2-preview extensions: subsidisedConcurrentSupply: {url: 'http://hl7.org.au/fhir/StructureDefinition/subsidised-concurrent-supply', max: 1, type: Extension, index: 1} class: profile kind: resource url: http://hl7.org.au/fhir/StructureDefinition/au-medicationrequest base: http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/MedicationRequest version: 4.2.2-preview
