## Resource Profile: Medication Request Profile for Bangladesh 

| | | |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| *Official URL*:https://fhir.dghs.gov.bd/core/StructureDefinition/bd-medication-request | *Version*:0.4.6 | |
| * Standards status: *[Informative](http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/versions.html#std-process) | [Maturity Level](http://hl7.org/fhir/versions.html#maturity): 1 | *Computable Name*:BDMedicationRequest |

 
Profile of the MedicationRequest resource for the Bangladesh National Health Information Exchange (HIE). Prescriptions must reference a BDMedication resource coded against the DGDA Drug Registry, ensuring all prescribed medications are traceable to DGDA-registered drug products. 
This profile constrains medication references to BDMedication only. Inline medicationCodeableConcept is not permitted — all medication data must be carried in a referenced BDMedication resource to support ingredient coding for IPS and cross-border data exchange. 
Route of administration is coded using HL7 v3 RouteOfAdministration served via the national OCL terminology server. 

**Usages:**
