## Union of http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/ips/StructureDefinition/MedicationRequest-uv-ips and http://hl7.org.au/fhir/ps/StructureDefinition/au-ps-medicationrequest

This is the set of resources that conform to either of the profiles MedicationRequest (IPS) (http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/ips/StructureDefinition/MedicationRequest-uv-ips) and AU PS MedicationRequest (http://hl7.org.au/fhir/ps/StructureDefinition/au-ps-medicationrequest). E.g. what you have to deal with if you get resources conforming to one of them
