MedicationRequest _search

post/MedicationRequest/_search

Page View

This resource contains a list of a patient’s current prescribed medications, as documented by one organization. What this doesn’t contain: any details about how much a patient has taken of what they were prescribed.

You can review or retrieve a list of current medications for 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.

Flexible FHIR queries, different query parameters

FHIR® queries are a flexible option with parameters to refine your search. The response returns a bundle of resources, known as a searchset bundle type. Learn about bundles and bundle types in our FHIR® glossary.

We only note which query parameters are required if you're querying a FHIR® server directly. Remember that Redox (i.e., data on demand) isn't a FHIR® server, and your connection may not be either.

Query parameters will vary between sites. Work with your connection to find out which query parameters they require for a successful search.

Data on demand requirements

For data on demand searches, you must include this query parameter:

FHIR® resource ID for Patient resource (learn about FHIR® references or review HL7's docs on references)
