HL7 Denmark core profile for IPA and DK Core compliant practitioners
The Danish IPA Core Practitioner profile is intended to encapsulate the combined data model of a condition as used in a Danish context DKCorePractitioner and as used in an international context International Patient Access (IPA) specification. The profile does this by extending the definition for dk-core-practitioner and imposing the IPA-Practitioner profile.
