The Child profile represents the individual components (such as member organizations, facilities, locations, etc.) that make up a QHIN, Participant, or Subparticipant. A Child can be the parent of other Child organizations. A Child can not be an endpoint (node). It can be part of an endpoint (node) but does not meet the definition of an endpoint (node) itself. The maximum cardinality for an endpoint (node) element under a child is 0. 

**Usages:**

* Refer to this Profile: [Child](StructureDefinition-Child.md)
* Examples for this Profile: [Sub X](Organization-Q.A.P.2.1.md) and [RCE Child Example](Organization-RCE-Child-example.md)
