Properties

Public property text : string read Gettext write Settext;

Free text dosage can be used for cases where the dosage administered is too complex to code. When coded dosage is present, the free text dosage may still be present for display to humans.

The dosage instructions should reflect the dosage of the medication that was administered.

Public property textElement : Tstring read GettextElement write SettextElement;
 
Public property site : TCodeableConcept read Getsite write Setsite;

A coded specification of the anatomic site where the medication first entered the body. For example, "left arm".

Public property route : TCodeableConcept read Getroute write Setroute;
