The purpose of this profile is to provide a representation of a patient to check and match patient identity the electronic exchange of health information between individuals, healthcare providers, and the My Health Record system infrastructure in Australia.
This profile identifies the additional constraints, extensions, and value sets that build on and extend AU Base Patient that are supported.
This profile is designed to set a Patient standard:
