Changing dosage on MedicationRequest #24

Changing dosage on MedicationRequest. Possible business need to separate dosage from legal dispensation request, because you might want to change dosage after dispense, but it's not good to allow that for legal reasons.

For that reason, the Netherlands uses 2 MedicationRequests for one prescription: one conveys reason and dosage; the other one is on logistics level and includes amount to be dispensed. Estonia does not have such business requirement yet, but there are signs that it may happen in the future.

Impact on medication treatment line. Impact on legal interpretation of request.
