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 icon
