Only traced NHS Number SHOULD be used with this resource unless explicitly stated. Within NHS Trusts the inclusion of MRN (Medical Record Numbers) identifiers is highly recommended. package_name: uk.nhsdigital.r4.test derivation: constraint name: NHSDigitalPatientPDS type: Patient elements: identifier: index: 0 slicing: slices: nhsNumber: match: {} schema: {_required: true, index: 1} min: 1 name: {index: 2} gender: {index: 3} birthDate: {index: 4} address: {index: 5} generalPractitioner: index: 6 elements: identifier: index: 7 elements: system: {index: 8} value: {index: 9} required: [value, system] required: [identifier] slicing: slices: registeredGPPractice: match: {} schema: {_required: true, index: 10} min: 1 max: 1 package_version: 2.8.13-prerelease class: profile kind: resource url: https://fhir.nhs.uk/StructureDefinition/NHSDigital-Patient-PDS base: https://fhir.nhs.uk/StructureDefinition/NHSDigital-Patient version: null required: [gender, name, address, identifier, birthDate, generalPractitioner]
