Hi. I am just wondering if medicationRequest resource can include information about the institution where it is generated. (for example, some are in the pharmacy, some are in the hospital) Should I use the requester element to point to institution? Thank you in advance.

Yes, with MedicationRequest.requester you can create a reference to an Organization, Practitioner, PractitionerRole, Patient, RelatedPerson or Device resource. See http://hl7.org/fhir/medicationrequest-definitions.html#MedicationRequest.requester

If you need both organization and human being, PractitionerRole will let you do that.

Indeed, @Lloyd McKenzie . I was demonstrating this to a NZ Architects Group yesterday, using a graphical representation from @David Hay's clinFHIR tool - https://terminz-itp.azurewebsites.net/Content/NZePStoFHIR.jpg
