Resource Profile: DocumentReference for sending the report with strict validation

A profile on the DocumentReference resource with publication constraints:

• must be status current
• must have an identifier
• uses attachment.url to carry the document as a contained resource
• strict validation according to http://fhir.ch/ig/ch-elm/StructureDefinition/ch-elm-document-strict

Usage:

• This Resource Profile is not used by any profiles in this Implementation Guide
