    .descriptionThis profile defines how to represent an Animal as subject of care in FHIR for the purpose of this guide. This is used to identify the species when a specimen is collected from an animalThis profile introduces essential constraints and extensions for the Patient resource that apply across multiple use cases. When the ips-pat-1 invariant is satisfied \(Patient.name.given, Patient.name.family or Patient.name.text SHALL be present\) then this profile complies with the IPS patient profile.
