description: This profile sets minimum expectations for a DocumentReference resource to record, search, and fetch patient documents. It is based on the core FHIR [DocumentReference](http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/documentreference.html) resource and identifies the *additional* mandatory core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets that **SHALL** be present in the DocumentReference resource when conforming to this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific uses cases in an Australian context.
