DataStandardsWales-Medication

Overview and Definition

The Medication resource is primarily used for the identification and definition of a medication for the purposes of prescribing, dispensing, and administering a medication as well as for making statements about medication use.

The DataStandardsWales-Medication profile is derived from the UK Core Medication Profile. It defines additional rules for use within health and care organisations in Wales.

For additional guidance on implementation of UK Core, see here.
