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.
| 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. |

| form | Medication.MedicationFormId | Lookup: CodeSetBundle | 0.1 | N/A |

| Medication.QuantityUnitId | Lookup: UnitOfMeasure | 0.1 | ||
| ingredient.item | MedicinalIngredient.IngredientId | Lookup: CodeSetBundle, Medication | 0.1 | Zero-to-many value for medication.ingredient is implmeneted using the child object MedicinalIngredient. Each ingredient record references the parent Medication record using the ParentRecordId field. |
