The canonical URL for this profile is:

http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/shareableplandefinition

Enforces the minimum information set for the plan definition metadata required by HL7 and other organizations that share and publish plan definitions

Note to Implementers: All of the shareable, publishable, computable, and executable profiles will be migrating to the new Canonical Resource Management icon implementation guide as part of the next FHIR release. Implementers are encouraged to look there for updates, corrections and clarifications.
