This page is part of the FHIR Specification (v4.0.1: R4 - Mixed Normative and STU) in it's permanent home (it will always be available at this URL). The current version which supercedes this version is 5.0.0. For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions . Page versions: R5R4BR4R3R2
This specification is a common platform standard that must be adapted to particular
use cases.
Some particular use cases are common or important enough to be described as a part of the
specification itself. These are published as groups of Structure Definitions (profiles or extensions),
which are often found in implementation guides, along with Value Sets,
newly defined search parameters and examples that are all defined with a common purpose.
Additional profiles and extensions may be registered on the HL7 FHIR registry at http://registry.fhir.org
EHRS FM Record Lifecycle Event - Audit Event
Defines the elements to be supported within the AuditEvent resource in order to conform with the Electronic Health Record System Functional Model Record Lifecycle Event standard
profiles
ISO 11179 Element Definition Profile
A profile showing how to use ElementDefinition to express 11179 Data_Element and Concept_Elements. At present, the profile is a partially-complete place-holder
extensions
Event Pattern HL7 Extensions
This profile defines extensions that can be used to provide alignment with the Event workflow pattern data elements for concepts that may be generally applicable but may be sufficiently uncommon that they are more appropriate to include as extensions than as core properties of the resource. See the workflow module for more discussion about this specification that are typically involved in workflow.

EHRS FM Record Lifecycle Event - Provenance
Defines the elements to be supported within the Provenance resource in order to conform with the Electronic Health Record System Functional Model Record Lifecycle Event standard
profiles
Extensions for rendering data elements
A set of extensions dealing with controlling how particular data elements are rendered when displayed. Initially created for questionnaires, but potentially useable elsewhere.
extensions
Request Pattern HL7 Extensions
This profile defines extensions that can be used to provide alignment with the Event workflow pattern data elements for concepts that may be generally applicable but may be sufficiently uncommon that they are more appropriate to include as extensions than as core properties of the resource. See the workflow module for more discussion about this specification that are typically involved in workflow.

Workflow Pattern HL7 Extensions
This profile defines extensions that can be used to provide alignment with the Event and Request workflow pattern data elements for concepts that may be generally applicable but may be sufficiently uncommon that they are more appropriate to include as extensions than as core properties of the resource.

Clinical Document
The Clinical Document profile constrains Composition to specify a clinical document (matching CDA).
The base Composition is a general resource for compositions or documents about any kind of subject that might be encountered in healthcare including such things as guidelines, medicines, etc. A clinical document is focused on documents related to the provision of care process, where the subject is a patient, a group of patients, or a closely related concept. A clinical document has additional requirements around confidentiality that do not apply in the same way to other kinds of documents.
