## Resource Profile: Patient (Core) 

| | | |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| *Official URL*:http://fhir.ehdsi.eu/core/StructureDefinition/patient-myhealtheu-core | *Version*:1.0.0 | |
| * Standards status: *[Trial-use](http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/versions.html#std-process) | [Maturity Level](http://hl7.org/fhir/versions.html#maturity): 2 | *Computable Name*:PatientMyHealthCore |

 
This profile sets minimum expectations for the Patient resource common to most of the use cases. When the ips-pat-1 invariant is satisfied (Patient.name.given, Patient.name.family or Patient.name.text SHALL be present) then this profile complies with the IPS patient profile.
