}

practice identifies the practice that documented the injection.

patient identifies the patient that was given the injection.

reference_medication_id identifies the reference medication administered in the injection.

packaged_medication_id identifies the packaged medication, i.e. the specific packaging of the reference medication, administered in the injection. This is null if the injection package's NDC wasn't found in Elation's standard formulary when the injection was documented.

ndc is the NDC of the injection package. This is the ndc of the associated packaged medication if the injection package's NDC was found in Elation's standard formulary when the injection was documented. Otherwise, packaged_medication_id is null and ndc is the value entered by the user who documented the injection.

service_location_id identifies the service location where the injection was given.
