Logical data model for medication.

Relationship with other elements:

The Medication model relates to the other data structures in the following way:

 Medication  Medication Line Prescription Dispense      

This model is just a placeholder and has not been implemented as a FHIR resource. Implementers are expected to use the Medication resource which will be profiled later.
