Resource Profile: Patient (EPS)

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.

Usages:

• Use this Profile: Bundle (EPS)
• Refer to this Profile: Medication Statement (EPS), Allergy Intolerance (EPS), Composition (EPS), Condition (EPS)... Show 8 more, Device (EPS), DeviceUseStatement (EPS), Flag (EPS), Immunization (EPS), MedicationDispense (EPS), MedicationRequest (EPS), Observation: country visited (EPS) and Procedure (EPS)
