Draft as of 2026-10-14 Computable Name: Haau3MedicationDispense

A pharmacy dispense recorded about a care recipient — a fill or refill handed over. Delivered exactly as the source system stated it, naming both the medication and the prescription it filled; hand-over time and quantity are present, preparation time and days-supply are not sent by current sources.
