Resource Profile: Patient (EU PS)

This profile defines how to represent a human Patient in HL7 FHIR for the purpose of this guide. 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.

Usage:

• Use this Resource Profile: Bundle (EU PS)
• Refer to this Resource Profile: Medication Statement (EU PS), Allergy Intolerance (EU PS), Composition (EU PS), Condition (EU PS)... Show 4 more, Device (EPS), DeviceUseStatement (EPS), Flag (EU PS) and MedicationRequest (EPS)
