This profile sets minimum expectations for a Practitioner resource in the context of a patient summary in an Australian context. It is based on the [AU Core Practitioner](http://hl7.org.au/fhir/core/StructureDefinition/au-core-practitioner) profile, and applies the additional requirements from [Practitioner (IPS)](http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/ips/StructureDefinition/Practitioner-uv-ips). 

See [Comparison With Other National and International IGs](comparison.md) for a comparison between AU Patient Summary (AU PS) profiles and profiles in other implementation guides.

### Profile Specific Implementation Guidance

* Even though AU PS Profiles allow both PractitionerRole and Practitioner to be referenced, because PractitionerRole supplies a provider’s location, contact information, and reference to the Practitioner, it **SHOULD** be referenced instead of the Practitioner resource.
* See the [guidance on implementing the Practitioner resource](https://build.fhir.org/ig/hl7au/au-fhir-core/StructureDefinition-au-core-practitioner.html#profile-specific-implementation-guidance) in AU Core.

**Examples for this Profile**: [Bundle/aups-basicsummary](Bundle-aups-basicsummary.md), [Bundle/aups-gpvisit-retrieval](Bundle-aups-gpvisit-retrieval.md), [Bundle/aups-noknownx](Bundle-aups-noknownx.md), [Bundle/aups-referral-endoconsult-autogen](Bundle-aups-referral-endoconsult-autogen.md) and [Bundle/aups-referral-endoconsult-curated](Bundle-aups-referral-endoconsult-curated.md)
