Topic: MedicationStatement dose can't have units
Joshua Bell (Aug 29 2017 at 22:35):
Is it not possible to add units to a MedicationStatement? The dose in MedicationStatement which we would like to add units to is a SimpleQuantity rather than a Quantity, so it does not contain a unit. My coworker investigated and found an example to put our value all the way in the denominator of the maxDosePerPeriod ratio which is a Quantity type that can have the unit on it. This seems fairly hacky to us though and seems like it would be much simpler if the dose field were Quantities rather than SimpleQuantity.

why do you say that a simple quantity can't have units?
Joshua Bell (Aug 30 2017 at 00:58):
My bad. I think I got really confused as I was using the DSTU2 Fhir docs and Dosage since changed. And simpleQuantity does include a unit in it, so no problem here. Thanks.
