Topic: Separate Profiles for Input & Output

Is it good practice or bad practice to have separate profiles for the same resource, within the same "domain"?
For example, the Patient resource is being used as part of a GET MedicationDispense, but Patient is also used as part of PUT Consent (a Consent service for the MedicationDispense). The two Patient resources would have elements with different cardinalities (at the very least, different optional vs mandatory elements).

When does it make sense to share a profile across different resources of the same domain, and when does it make sense to create separate profiles?

Thanks in advance for any insight you could provide.
