Resource Profile: eLTSS RelatedPerson Profile

This profile sets minimum expectations for the RelatedPerson resource to record, search, and fetch basic administrative information about persons with a legal or familial relationship to a patient. It is patterned off of USCORE.

Usage:

• Refer to this Resource Profile: CarePlan_eltss, Claim_eltss, Condition_eltss, Contract_eltss... Show 3 more, Goal_eltss, Observation_eltss and ServiceRequest_eltss
• Examples for this Resource Profile: RelatedPerson/guardian1 and RelatedPerson/son1
