Michael,

If possible, could you add some rdfs:isDefinedby relations to this 
ontology? Net effect, its much easier to explore using the 
follow-your-nose pattern since the ontology URI enables the 
viewer/explorer pivot back to common starting point.

I've slurped/sponged your ontology, and then applied why I am suggesting 
to the URIBurner instance that we host. Net effects:

1. 
<http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/describe/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.org%2Fhealthcarevocab%2Fv1%23> 
-- ontology description page
2. 
<http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/describe/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.org%2Fhealthcarevocab%2Fv1%23AdditionalDrugSequence> 
-- property description page showing the use of rdfs:isDefinedBy and 
wdrs:describedby relations for pivoting.
