## Profile: HealthcareService 

The HealthcareService resource is used to describe a single healthcare service or category of services that are provided by an organization at a location.

The location of the services could be virtual, as with TeleMedicine Services.

With appropriate usage of the reference.display elements, the "healthcareService" resource alone provides sufficient information to route a referral without need to retrieve the related location and organization resources.

HealthcareServices can be federated to be displayed in many directories. However, each listing has one **Listing Host System**, which is used as the source of truth, and issues an identifier for the listing. 

### Legend
* ~~strikethrough~~ indicates the the element is not included in this profile
* `red` indicates that the field is likely useful in a future iteration of the specification
