description	This profile sets minimum expectations for the Patient resource common to most of the 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.	This profile introduce 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.	Values Differ
