      .descriptionTo promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation, this profile sets minimum expectations for searching and fetching patient documents including Clinical Notes using the DocumentReference resource. It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets **SHALL** be present and constrains the way the elements are used when using the profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific use cases. Prior to reviewing this profile, implementers are encouraged to read the Clinical Notes Guidance to understand the overlap of US Core DocumentReference Profile and US Core DiagnosticReport Profile for Report and Note exchange.
