description: 'This profile sets minimum expectations for a Medication resource to record, search, and fetch medications associated with a patient. It is based on the [AU Base Medication](http://build.fhir.org/ig/hl7au/au-fhir-base/StructureDefinition-au-medication.html) profile and identifies the *additional* mandatory core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets that **SHALL** be present in the Medication when conforming to this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific uses cases in an Australian context. \n\nIn AU Core a Medication resource is used within the context of a referencing resource: MedicationAdministration, MedicationDispense, MedicationRequest, or MedicationStatement resource.'
