Logical model for prescribed/dispensed medication. The model is shared by statements, requests, dispensations, and treatment lines. Each of those may have different restrictions in FHIR profile. 

**Usages:**

* Refer to this Logical Model: [Medication dispense (model)](StructureDefinition-IHEMedicationDispenseModel.md), [Medication order (model)](StructureDefinition-IHEMedicationOrderModel.md) and [Medication order - multiline (model)](StructureDefinition-IHEMultilineOrder.md)
