description: The US Core Procedure Profile inherits from the FHIR [Procedure](https://hl7.org/fhir/R4/procedure.html) resource; refer to it for scope and usage definitions. This profile meets the requirements of the U.S. Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI)  *Procedures* Data Class. It sets minimum expectations for the Procedure resource to record, search, and fetch procedure information associated with a patient. It specifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets **SHALL** be present and constrains how the elements are used. Providing the floor for standards development for specific use cases promotes interoperability and adoption.
