Profiles
Profiles are customized structure definitions of the resource which describe following in detail:
- What element(attributes) of the profiles are used to create a sample data structure.
- What is the cardinality of the element, which explains if the element is mandatory or optional, can the elements be repeated multiple times and data type of each element.
- If the element has any fixed values, binding to any ValueSet(list of possible values to be used)
- Extensions to hold information that does not fit in the profiles defined by FHIR structure.
