MedicationAdministration
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.
These interaction paths describe standard FHIR R4 patterns. Availability can depend on the API capabilities enabled for your Ovok project.
