This page is part of the Data Access Framework (v1.6.0: STU 2 Ballot 1) based on FHIR v1.6.0. . For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions
This profile sets minimum expectations for the Patient resource to record, search and fetch basic demographics and other administrative information about an individual patient. It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets SHALL be present in the resource when using this profile.
Example Usage Scenarios:
The following are example usage scenarios for the DAF Patient profile:
The following data-elements are mandatory (i.e data MUST be present). These are presented below in a simple human-readable explanation. Profile specific guidance and an example are provided as well. The Formal Profile Definition below provides the formal summary, definitions, and terminology requirements.
Each Patient must have:
2015 Edition Certification Requirements (Must Support).
In addition, based upon the 2015 Edition Certification Requirements, the following data-elements must be supported.
’'’If the data is present, Patient shall include:’’’
Profile specific implementation guidance:
The official URL for this profile is:

This profile was published on Mon Aug 01 00:00:00 AEST 2016 as a draft by Health Level Seven International (FHIR-Infrastructure).
Description of Profiles, Differentials, Snapshots, and how the XML and JSON presentations work.
