This profile represents the constraints applied to the Bundle resource by the Medtech FHIR International Patient Summary (IPS) 

 
An International Patient Summary (IPS) bundle is an electronic health record extract containing essential healthcare information about a subject of care, comprising at least the required elements of the IPS dataset. The IPS dataset is minimal and non-exhaustive; specialty-agnostic and condition-independent; but still clinically relevant. As specified in EN 17269 and ISO 27269, it is designed for supporting the use case scenario for ‘unplanned, cross border care', but it is not limited to it. It is intended to be international, i.e., to provide generic solutions for global application beyond a particular region or country.
