It specifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets SHALL be present and constrains how the elements are used. By providing a standardized foundation for capturing encounters in Nepal (including OPD visits, outreach clinics, and home visits), this profile promotes interoperability, consistent data capture, and adoption across national health programs.
