description	This profile sets minimum expectations for a Patient resource in the context of a patient summary in an Australian context. It is based on the [AU Core Patient](https://build.fhir.org/ig/hl7au/au-fhir-core/StructureDefinition-au-core-patient.html) profile, and applies the additional requirements from [Patient (IPS)](http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/ips/StructureDefinition/Patient-uv-ips).
