This page is part of the FHIR Specification (v1.6.0: STU 3 Ballot 4). The current version which supercedes this version is 5.0.0. For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions
. Page versions: R5 R4B R4 R3 R2

This specification is a common platform standard that must be adapted to particular
use cases.
Some particular use cases are common or important enough to be described as a part of the
specification itself.
These are published as a "Profile" - a group of Structure Definitions (Constraints or Extensions),
Value Sets, and examples that are all defined with a common purpose.
Additional profiles may be registered on the HL7 FHIR registry at http://hl7.org/fhir/registry
