A Profile This specification is a special resource common platform standard that provides additional rules about how a type of resource is utilized in a particular context of use, or for a must be adapted to particular use case. cases . Some particular use cases are common or important enough to be described as a part of the specification itself: itself. These are published as a "Profile" - a group of Structure Definitions (Constraints or Extensions), Value Sets , and examples that are all defined with a common purpose. Additional profiles may be registered on the HL7 FHIR registry at http://hl7.org/fhir/registry

Name	Usage Description
General
Element-definition Extensions for use by FHIR Implementers	A set of general extensions defined for the convenience of implementers that use FHIR resources constrain data elements, whether used in DataElements, StructureDefinitions or Questionnaires
US ISO 11179 Element Definition Profile	Contains constraints 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
DataElement constraint on ElementDefinition data type	Identifies how the ElementDefinition data type is used when it appears within a data element
Common extensions to for ElementDefinition data type	Defines "common" extensions for use with the DataElement data type
General Extensions for use by FHIR specification specific to Implementers	A set of general extensions defined for the US realm convenience of implementers that use FHIR resources
ISO 21090 Data Type Extensions	Extra ISO 21090 features not included in data types because of core design policy
Questionnaire International Realm Pharmacy Extensions Profile	Core Contains a number of pharmacy domain extensions for Questionnaire relevant to a number of medication-related resources.
Tools Extensions for rendering data elements	Extensions defined by the build tools. These A set of extensions dealing with controlling how particular data elements are candidates rendered when displayed. Initially created for being elevated into the core in a subsequent version questionnaires, but potentially useable elsewhere.
