## Resource Profile: RCE Organization ( Abstract ) 

| | |
| :--- | :--- |

| Active as of 2026-01-20 | *Computable Name*:RCEOrganization |

 
This profile on the FHIR Organization resource is an abstract base profile that defines shared constraints for all other profiles on the Organization resource in this implementation guide. It is not intended to be used directly, rather end users should create instances conforming to the QHIN, Participant, Subparticipant, or Child profiles. 

**Usages:**

* Derived from this Profile: [Child](StructureDefinition-Child.md), [Participant](StructureDefinition-Participant.md), [QHIN](StructureDefinition-QHIN.md) and [Subparticipant](StructureDefinition-SubParticipant.md)
* Refer to this Profile: [RCE Endpoint](StructureDefinition-RCE-Endpoint.md) and [RCE Organization](StructureDefinition-RCE-Organization.md)
