Structures

This structure refers to these other structures:

• CH EMED Range with Units (http://fhir.ch/ig/ch-emed/StructureDefinition/ch-emed-range)
• CH EMED Quantity with Units (http://fhir.ch/ig/ch-emed/StructureDefinition/ch-emed-quantity)

Slices

This structure defines the following Slices:

• The element Dosage.timing.repeat.bounds[x] is sliced based on the value of type:$this
• The element Dosage.asNeeded[x] is sliced based on the value of type:$this
