Topic: Connecting Medication to Patient

@Bhaveshkumar Shah:
I have one doubt regarding the Mapping between resources.
There is a resource named as Medication, how it is related to the patient. There is no reference in the document. How can I fetch Medication against the Patient?
I am using PatientEverything API for fetching all the resources against the patient.
Can you please help me for the same as soon as possible because I am stuck in that.
This sounds like a question well suited on the implementer stream. The short answer is that Medication connects to Patient through MedicationRequest, MedicationDispense, MedicationAdministration and/or MedicationStatement, never directly. Medication is the description of a drug regardless of a patient or doctor.
The question "what's the medication list for this patient" is thus answered by looking at what a Patient should be using based on MedicationRequest, what he could be using based on MedicationDispense, what he definitively has been using based on MedicationAdministration and what is stated he uses based on MedicationStatement.

..or the answers in a QuestionnaireResponse, which preferrably has been translated into a series of MedicationStatement(R4)/MedicationUse(R5) resources.
