Topic: TimingEvents in FHIR

Hello everybody. I hope this is the right place to ask for some advice and guidelines. In HL7 v3 it is possible to use TimingEvents (https://www.hl7.org/fhir/v3/TimingEvent/index.html) such as "before breakfast". I'm looking for a solution to timing, frequencies, and situations. Samples are:
1. Medicine X three times a day 30 minutes before meal
2. Do <examination> after every urination
3. Medicine Y up to four times a day after defecation
The timing and frequencies I have solved, but are there any codes for common situations for when to do things, or should a free text fiend be used (MedicationOrder.dosageInstruction.text)?
In advance, thank you!

Thank you! In Timing.code it is written "A code for the timing pattern. Some codes such as BID are ubiquitous, but many institutions define their own additional codes.". How are these defined? I can't figure out how to time things to events. How are other organizations solving this?
