description | This profile sets minimum expectations for a Procedure resource in the context of a patient summary in an Australian context. It is based on the [AU Core Procedure](https://build.fhir.org/ig/hl7au/au-fhir-core/StructureDefinition-au-core-procedure.html) profile, and applies the additional requirements from [Procedure (IPS)](http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/ips/StructureDefinition/Procedure-uv-ips). |
