      See previous tracker and decision FHIR-30788.  This decision and rationale still applies for US Core. However we plan to revisit this issue if and when US Core is based on FHIR R5.

    Description

      This profile seems to merge the functions of MedicationStatements under MedicationRequests. Base FHIR resource definitions should be used within their correct context. MedicationRequest is an order of a medication. MedicationStatement should be used to represent a record as it exists outside of the prescribe>dispense>administer sequence.

      Recommend that scope of resource and elements be reevaluated relative to base FHIR intent rather than crossing/combining.
