description: The US Core Goal Profile inherits from the FHIR [Goal](https://hl7.org/fhir/R4/goal.html) resource; refer to it for scope and usage definitions. This profile sets minimum expectations for the Goal resource to record,  search, and fetch Goal information associated with a patient.   It specifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets **SHALL** be present and constrains how the elements are used. Providing the floor for standards development for specific use cases promotes interoperability and adoption.
