Resource Profile: Patient: Person

This profile defines how to represent a human Patient in 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:

• Derived from this Resource Profile: Patient: Obligations
• Use this Resource Profile: Bundle: Laboratory Report
• Refer to this Resource Profile: Composition: Laboratory Report, DiagnosticReport: Laboratory Report, Observation Results: laboratory, ServiceRequest: Laboratory Order and Specimen: Laboratory
• Examples for this Resource Profile: Patient/pat-lab-example
