## Resource Profile: Patient (EU core)

Official URL: http://hl7.eu/fhir/base/StructureDefinition/patient-eu-core | Version: 2.0.0
Standards status: Trial-use | Maturity Level: 2 | Computable Name: PatientEuCore

This profile introduces essential constraints and extensions for the Patient resource that apply across multiple use cases. When the ips-pat-1 invariant is satisfied (Patient.name.given, Patient.name.family or Patient.name.text SHALL be present) then this profile complies with the IPS patient profile.

Usages:

- Refer to this Profile: AllergyIntolerance (EU core), Composition (EU core), Condition (EU core), Flag: Patient (EU core)... Show 5 more, Immunization (EU core), Observation: Medical Test Result (EU core), MedicationRequest (EU core), MedicationStatement (EU core) and Procedure (EU core)
- Examples for this Profile: Patient/patient-eu-core-example
