## Union of http://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/StructureDefinition/qicore-patient and http://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/StructureDefinition/qicore-patient

This is the set of resources that conform to either of the profiles QICore Patient (http://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/StructureDefinition/qicore-patient) and QICore Patient (http://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/StructureDefinition/qicore-patient). E.g. what you have to deal with if you get resources conforming to one of them
