Class MedicationAdministration.Dosage

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Visitable
    Enclosing class:
    MedicationAdministration
    public static class MedicationAdministration.Dosage
extends BackboneElement
    Describes the medication dosage information details e.g. dose, rate, site, route, etc.

    • Method Detail

      • getText

        public String getText()
        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.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type String that may be null.

      • getSite

        public CodeableConcept getSite()
        A coded specification of the anatomic site where the medication first entered the body. For example, "left arm".
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type CodeableConcept that may be null.

      • getRoute

        public CodeableConcept getRoute()
        A code specifying the route or physiological path of administration of a therapeutic agent into or onto the patient. For example, topical, intravenous, etc.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type CodeableConcept that may be null.

      • getMethod

        public CodeableConcept getMethod()
        A coded value indicating the method by which the medication is intended to be or was introduced into or on the body. This attribute will most often NOT be populated. It is most commonly used for injections. For example, Slow Push, Deep IV.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type CodeableConcept that may be null.

      • getDose

        public SimpleQuantity getDose()
        The amount of the medication given at one administration event. Use this value when the administration is essentially an instantaneous event such as a swallowing a tablet or giving an injection.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type SimpleQuantity that may be null.

      • getRate

        public Element getRate()
        Identifies the speed with which the medication was or will be introduced into the patient. Typically, the rate for an infusion e.g. 100 ml per 1 hour or 100 ml/hr. May also be expressed as a rate per unit of time, e.g. 500 ml per 2 hours. Other examples: 200 mcg/min or 200 mcg/1 minute; 1 liter/8 hours.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type Ratio or SimpleQuantity that may be null.

      • accept

        public void accept​(String elementName,
                   int elementIndex,
                   Visitor visitor)
        Description copied from interface: Visitable
        Accept a Visitor and invoke the appropriate visit methods. A typical implementation would look like this: 
         if (visitor.preVisit(this)) {
     visitor.visitStart(elementName, elementIndex, this);
     if (visitor.visit(elementName, elementIndex, this)) {
         // visit children
     }
     visitor.visitEnd(elementName, elementIndex, this);
     visitor.postVisit(this);
 }
        Specified by:
        accept in interface Visitable
        Specified by:
        accept in class AbstractVisitable
        Parameters:
        elementName - the name of the element in the context of this visit
        elementIndex - the index of the element in a list or -1 if it is not contained within a List
        visitor - the visitor to use

      • hashCode

        public int hashCode()
        Overrides:
        hashCode in class Object
