Medication read

get/Medication/{id}

Page View

This resource identifies and defines a medication being referenced for a patient. This resource type can include the drug type and potentially the packaging or quantity, which providers can use for prescribing, dispensing, or administering a medication.

You can only review medication details.

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.

read

Review a specific Medication resource with details about a patient's medication. This doesn't include details about a prescription order or medication administration.

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.
