Medication
GET https://api.flexpa.com/fhir/Medication
Medication is a supporting FHIR resource that is used to represent a medication that is prescribed or dispensed. It represents the medication itself, not the prescription or dispensing of the medication to a specific patient.
In contrast to many of the other resources in the Flexpa that are patient-specific, it serves as a foundational resource that supports the clinical and financial resources in the API.
For instance, a MedicationRequest may include a reference to the Medication that was prescribed or an ExplanationOfBenefit may include Medication references for any billed Medications.
As a result, Medication is most often used as part of an include parameter in a search request to retrieve the related resources or is accessed via a read with a specific FHIR resource ID obtained from a financial or clinical resource.
