Medication

The medication FHIR resource maps to the Medication object in Salesforce.

FHIR V4.0 - Clinical Data Model Mapping

Here’s how the fields defined by FHIR for medication map to the fields in Salesforce.

Table 1. medication - Salesforce
Medication Resource	Salesforce Field	Type	Salesforce Cardinality	Notes
`identifier`	`Identifier`	Object	0.M	The identifier information for a medication is represented as `Identifier` records that reference the `medication` record using their `Identifier.ParentRecordId` field.
`code`	`Medication.MedicationCodeId`	Lookup: `CodeSetBundle`	0.1	N/A
`status`	`Medication.Status`	Picklist	1.1	While FHIR defines `medication.status` as a code set bundle, the Salesforce implementation of `Medication.Status` is picklist.
`manufacturer`	`Medication.ManufacturerId`	Lookup: `Account`	0.1	N/A
`form`	`Medication.MedicationFormId`	Lookup: `CodeSetBundle`	0.1	N/A
`amount`	`Medication.QuantityNumerator`	Double	0.1	Because Salesforce doesn’t support a native quantity data type, the medication.amount field is flattened into a set of numerator, denominator, and unit fields.
	`Medication.QuantityDenominator`	Double	0.1
	`Medication.QuantityUnit`	Lookup: `UnitOfMeasure`
