## Resource Profile: NL Generic Functions OrganizationAffiliation Profile ( Experimental )

Official URL: http://minvws.github.io/generiekefuncties-docs/StructureDefinition/nl-gf-organizationaffiliation | Version: 0.2.0-ballot
Draft as of 2026-03-24 | Computable Name: NlGfOrganizationAffiliation

OrganizationAffiliation profile aligned with IHE mCSD OrganizationAffiliation constraints, with a required custodian-assigned identifier and extended with a value set constraint on code and support for device identifiers in extensions.

Usages:

- Examples for this Profile: OrganizationAffiliation/8ee51b54-bafb-562d-87d1-9429f8bbfc1b, OrganizationAffiliation/c5d6c9d6-7562-589e-9b34-c20a3488daa1 and OrganizationAffiliation/fe43d49a-4748-5c42-a731-e40d614be8f9
- CapabilityStatements using this Profile: Directory capability [ITI-130-NL] for a Data Source actor, Directory capability [ITI-90-NL] for a Query Client actor and Directory capability [ITI-91-NL] for an Update Client actor
