See Comparison with other national and international IGs for a comparison between AU Core profiles and profiles in other implementation guides.

Usage scenarios

The following are supported usage scenarios for this profile:

• Query medications associated with a patient referenced by another resource
• Record or update a medication associated with a patient referenced by another resource
• Read medications associated with a patient referenced by another resource

See Comparison with other national and international IGs for a comparison between AU Core profiles and profiles in other implementation guides.

Profile specific implementation guidance

• See the Medicine Information page for guidance on how medicinal product identification can be structured in FHIR conformant to AU Core.
