API Reference

Create a new MedicationAdministration

MedicationAdministration on the FHIR specification website.

Describes the event of a patient consuming or otherwise being administered a medication. This may be as simple as swallowing a tablet or it may be a long running infusion. Related resources tie this event to the authorizing prescription, and the specific encounter between patient and health care practitioner.

The body should be a valid FHIR object for MedicationAdministration.
