### Messages

Error | StructureDefinition.version | Values for version differ: '1.0.0' vs '1.0.3'
Information | StructureDefinition.date | Values for date differ: '2025-09-17T07:37:47-04:00' vs '2025-11-19T17:22:58+01:00'
Information | StructureDefinition.requirements | Values for requirements differ: 'Modifier extensions allow for extensions that *cannot* be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the [definition of modifier extensions](http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/extensibility.html#modifierExtension).' vs 'Modifier extensions allow for extensions that *cannot* be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the [definition of modifier extensions](extensibility.html#modifierExtension).'
Information | StructureDefinition.short | Values for short differ: 'Wann das Medikament verabreicht werden soll' vs 'A timing schedule that specifies an event that may occur multiple times'
Information | StructureDefinition.definition | Values for definition differ: 'Wann das Medikament verabreicht werden soll.' vs 'Specifies an event that may occur multiple times. Timing schedules are used to record when things are planned, expected or requested to occur. The most common usage is in dosage instructions for medications. They are also used when planning care of various kinds, and may be used for reporting the schedule to which past regular activities were carried out.'
Information | StructureDefinition.comment | Values for comment differ: 'Um widersprüchliche Anweisungen zu vermeiden, ist entweder Dosage.timing oder Dosage.text zu befüllen. Falls eine strukturierte Dosierung als Text abgebildet werden soll ist dafür die GeneratedDosageInstructionsMeta Extension zu verwenden.' vs 'Describes the occurrence of an event that may occur multiple times. Timing schedules are used for specifying when events are expected or requested to occur, and may also be used to represent the summary of a past or ongoing event. For simplicity, the definitions of Timing components are expressed as 'future' events, but such components can also be used to describe historic or ongoing events. A Timing schedule can be a list of events and/or criteria for when the event happens, which can be expressed in a structured form and/or as a code. When both event and a repeating specification are provided, the list of events should be understood as an interpretation of the information in the repeat structure.'
Information | StructureDefinition.short | Values for short differ: 'Amount of medication per dose' vs 'A fixed quantity (no comparator)'
Information | StructureDefinition.definition | Values for definition differ: 'Amount of medication per dose.' vs 'The comparator is not used on a SimpleQuantity'
