5. Find the MedicationDispense for a known MedicationRequest identifier Request URL

GET https://api-{{tenant-id}}.developer.commure.com/api/v1/r4/MedicationDispense?prescription={{medication-request-id}}

As the pharmacist enters status updates into their system, Commure will update the MedicationDispense to reflect those updates. For example, these status updates will ensure that FHIR clients of our main FHIR server will be able to display the updated status so that it may show, for example, that the prescription is ready to be picked up.

The MedicationRequest order that is being fulfilled is referred to in the field authorizingPrescription of the MedicationDispense. The relationship between these resources in the context of a FHIR workflow is that of an event resource and the request that this event is basedOn.

Clients that are interested in the status of MedicationDispense resources can either poll the history of all MedicationDispense resources (described in the previous step), or by searching for MedicationDispense resources that reference a specific MedicationRequest as its authorizingPrescription. By checking the list of search parameters that are defined for MedicationDispense we find that the corresponding parameter name is prescription.
