(Base Level) The goal of this profile is to describe a data-minimized version of Patient used to convey information about the patient for Identity Matching utilizing the $match operation. Only requires that ‘some valuable data’ be populated within the Patient resource and utilizes no weighting of element values.
Usage:
Description of Profiles, Differentials, Snapshots and how the different presentations work.
