Alternatively if the dose was 375 mg, then you may only need to use the Medication resource to indicate this was a tablet. If the example were an IV such as dopamine and you wanted to communicate that 400mg of dopamine was mixed in 500 ml of some IV solution, then this would all be communicated in the Medication resource. If the administration is not intended to be instantaneous (rate is present or timing has a duration), this can be specified to convey the total amount to be administered over the period of time as indicated by the schedule e.g. 500 ml in dose, with timing used to convey that this should be done over 4 hours.' vs 'Begründung Einschränkung Datentyp: Nur einfache Mengenangaben sind in der ersten Ausbaustufe des dgMP vorgesehen, um die Komplexität zu reduzieren und die Übersichtlichkeit zu erhöhen.'

It is possible to specify a rate over time (for example, 100 ml/hour) using either the rateRatio and rateQuantity. The rateQuantity approach requires systems to have the capability to parse UCUM grammer where ml/hour is included rather than a specific ratio where the time is specified as the denominator. Where a rate such as 500ml over 2 hours is specified, the use of rateRatio may be more semantically correct than specifying using a rateQuantity of 250 mg/hour.' vs 'Begründung Einschränkung Kardinalität: Eine Verabreichungsmenge pro Zeiteinheit ist in der ersten Ausbaustufe des dgMP nicht vorgesehen, um die Komplexität zu reduzieren und die Übersichtlichkeit zu erhöhen.'
