MedicationAdministration read

get/MedicationAdministration/{id}

Page View

This resource contains which medication was given and details about how it was administered to a patient during an inpatient stay.

You can review or retrieve administration details for a medication given to a patient.

Supported fields and schema examples

We support any valid FHIR® field. However, we only display fields we’ve defined in our schema, which are usually based on what’s included in the U.S. Core profile. We recommend relying on U.S. Core requirements.

Our schema examples show the shape and possibility of each FHIR® resource; they aren’t code for real-time API calls. We don’t currently recommend copying and pasting these schema examples for your API calls. Consider reviewing FHIR® API actions for realistic examples for particular use cases.

Review a specific MedicationAdministration resource with details about how a medication was administered to a patient.

FHIR read

To use a read interaction, you must know the related resource ID, which you may not have in your real workflows. A read is likely only a follow-up option after receiving the specific resource in a recent FHIR® passthrough or data on demand exchange.

Typically, you should use the more flexible _search with query parameters, unless you're guaranteed to request data directly from a FHIR® server using the resource ID. Learn more about using FHIR® identifiers.

A profile on the Medication Administration resource that conforms to Redox requirements.

resourceType
required, string
Identifies the type of the resource
Value: MedicationAdministration
status
required, string
Will generally be set to show that the administration has been completed. For some long running administrations such as infusions, it is possible for an administration to be started but not completed or it may be paused while some other process is under way.
Possible Values: in-progress, not-done, on-hold, completed, entered-in-error, stopped, unknown
subject
required, object
The person or animal or group receiving the medication.

Must be a resource of type Patient.
- reference
  string
  A reference to another resource. This is typically either a relative reference which includes the resource type and ID, or an internal reference which starts with # and refers to a contained resource.
medicationCodeableConcept
required, object
Identifies the medication that was administered. This is either a link to a resource representing the details of the medication or a simple attribute carrying a code that identifies the medication from a known list of medications.
- coding
  Array of object
  A reference to a code defined by a terminology system.
  system
  string
  The identification of the code system that defines the meaning of the symbol in the code.
  code
  string
  A symbol in syntax defined by the system. The symbol may be a predefined code or an expression in a syntax defined by the coding system (e.g. post-coordination).
- text
  string
  A human language representation of the concept as seen/selected/uttered by the user who entered the data and/or which represents the intended meaning of the user.
effectiveDateTime
required, string
A specific date/time or interval of time during which the administration took place (or did not take place, when the 'notGiven' attribute is true). For many administrations, such as swallowing a tablet the use of dateTime is more appropriate.

Only one of effectiveDateTime, effectivePeriod may be present.
effectivePeriod
required, object
A specific date/time or interval of time during which the administration took place (or did not take place, when the 'notGiven' attribute is true). For many administrations, such as swallowing a tablet the use of dateTime is more appropriate.

Only one of effectiveDateTime, effectivePeriod may be present.
- start
  string
  The start of the period. The boundary is inclusive.
- end
  string
  The end of the period. If the end of the period is missing, it means no end was known or planned at the time the instance was created. The start may be in the past, and the end date in the future, which means that period is expected/planned to end at that time.
id
string
The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.
identifier
Array of object
Identifiers associated with this Medication Administration that are defined by business processes and/or used to refer to it when a direct URL reference to the resource itself is not appropriate. They are business identifiers assigned to this resource by the performer or other systems and remain constant as the resource is updated and propagates from server to server.
- extension
  Array of Boolean, String, CodeableConcept, Coding
  May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.
  One of:
  url
  required, string
  Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.
  valueBoolean
  boolean
  A single value for the extension.
- use
  string
  The purpose of this identifier.
  Possible Values: usual, official, temp, secondary, old (If known)
- system
  string
  Establishes the namespace for the value - that is, a URL that describes a set values that are unique.
- value
  string
  The portion of the identifier typically relevant to the user and which is unique within the context of the system.
statusReason
Array of object
A code indicating why the administration was not performed.
- coding
  Array of object
  A reference to a code defined by a terminology system.
  system
  string
  The identification of the code system that defines the meaning of the symbol in the code.
  code
  string
  A symbol in syntax defined by the system. The symbol may be a predefined code or an expression in a syntax defined by the coding system (e.g. post-coordination).
- text
  string
  A human language representation of the concept as seen/selected/uttered by the user who entered the data and/or which represents the intended meaning of the user.
context
object
The visit, admission, or other contact between patient and health care provider during which the medication administration was performed.

Must be a resource of type Encounter.
- reference
  string
  A reference to another resource. This is typically either a relative reference which includes the resource type and ID, or an internal reference which starts with # and refers to a contained resource.
dosage
object
Describes the medication dosage information details e.g. dose, rate, site, route, etc.
- text
  string
  Free text dosage can be used for cases where the dosage administered is too complex to code. When coded dosage is present, the free text dosage may still be present for display to humans.
  
  The dosage instructions should reflect the dosage of the medication that was administered.
- route
  object
  A code specifying the route or physiological path of administration of a therapeutic agent into or onto the patient. For example, topical, intravenous, etc.
  coding
  Array of object
  A reference to a code defined by a terminology system.
  system
  string
  The identification of the code system that defines the meaning of the symbol in the code.
  code
  string
  A symbol in syntax defined by the system. The symbol may be a predefined code or an expression in a syntax defined by the coding system (e.g. post-coordination).
  text
  string
  A human language representation of the concept as seen/selected/uttered by the user who entered the data and/or which represents the intended meaning of the user.
- dose
  The amount of the medication given at one administration event. Use this value when the administration is essentially an instantaneous event such as a swallowing a tablet or giving an injection.
  
  See http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/SimpleQuantity for more information
- rateQuantity
  object
  Identifies the speed with which the medication was or will be introduced into the patient. Typically, the rate for an infusion e.g. 100 ml per 1 hour or 100 ml/hr. May also be expressed as a rate per unit of time, e.g. 500 ml per 2 hours. Other examples: 200 mcg/min or 200 mcg/1 minute; 1 liter/8 hours.
  value
  number
  The value of the measured amount. The value includes an implicit precision in the presentation of the value.
  system
  string
  The identification of the system that provides the coded form of the unit.
  code
  string
  A computer processable form of the unit in some unit representation system.
