home
Overview
This asset is a component of MuleSoft Accelerator for Healthcare.
MuleSoft Accelerator for Healthcare enables healthcare providers to unlock critical patient data to build a patient 360 within Salesforce Health Cloud, faster and easier than ever before. The solution includes pre-built APIs, connectors, integration templates, and a prescriptive end-to-end reference architecture to bring patient demographics information and COVID-19 test results from any EHR into Health Cloud using HL7 V2 or FHIR standards.
The solution also provides a library of United States Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) and FHIR R4 resources to help healthcare developers adhere to interoperability needs and jumpstart the development of healthcare digital transformation initiatives.
The Medications module is concerned with resources and functionality in 3 main domains:
- The ordering, dispensing, administration of medications and recording statements of medication use.
- Recording of Immunizations given (or not given), evaluation of given immunizations and recommendations for an individual patient at a point in time.
- The creation or querying for medications as part of drug information or drug knowledge.
The Medications API includes the following FHIR R4 Profiles:
| Resource | Definition |

| MedicationRequest | US Core MedicationRequest describes an order or request for both supply of the medication and the instructions for administration of the medication to a patient. |
