description	The US Core Patient Profile meets the U.S. Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) v3 'Patient Demographics' requirements. 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 to promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation. It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets **SHALL** be present in the resource and constrains the way the elements are used when using this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific use cases.	(Level 1 weighting) 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, and prescribe a minimum set of data elements which meet a combined 'weighted level' of at least 10 and using attributes that are consistent with an identity that has been verified by the match requestor	Values Differ

Patient		0..*	Patient	Information about an individual or animal receiving health care services	C	0..*	Patient	Patient information to be supplied to $match operation conforming to Level 1 weighting of information idi-L1: Requestors asserting compliance with this Invariant level are also thereby indicating that all included demographics are consistent with an identity verification event performed as part of a documented process that is compliant with this IG. Combined weighted values of included elements must have a minimum value of 10 (see Patient Weighted Elements table). Note that the logic for computing weights is somewhat imperfect, particularly considering that it does not confirm that exactly the expected coded type is the one that exists in a match request; this is acceptable because it will not in itself lead to mismatches, though it may give requestors an overly-optimistic sense of their input quality.	Elements differ in short: 'Information about an individual or animal receiving health care services' vs 'Patient information to be supplied to $match operation conforming to Level 1 weighting of information' Elements differ in definition: '\-' vs 'Demographics and other administrative information about an individual which can be utilized within the $match operation meeting a minimum combined weighting higher than previous levels.'
