The ClinicalImpression sets minimum expectations for the ClinicalImpression Resource to record, search, and fetch clnical impressions that apply to a patient. It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets SHALL be present in the resource when using this profile. In addition to the requirements set forth in ClinicalImpression this derived profile is designed to add requirements to the following elements:

• MCCClinicalImpressionClinicalImpression.extension:resource-pertainsToGoal (Must Support) to encourage linking a goal to the clinical impression hopes to facilitate and/or to encourage systems to be able to receive and understand a goal linkage if present.
• MCCClinicalImpression.subject is set to us-core-patient and set to must support
• MCCClinicalImpression.effective is must support
• MCCClinicalImpression.problem is required and must be supported

Comments are welcome with respect to the pragmatic use of the “Must Support” rules defined on these elements.
