Per FHIR base resource, an element is optional. But per usecase implementation, the element need to be required. How to implement this?

  1. Use a Profile
    Or

  2. Update in the capability statement

  1. Indicate use of the profile in the CapabilityStatement

Developing a bit further what @David Pyke pointed at (I think), if 2 use cases have different requirements for optionality, then you may have 2 profiles for those use cases. You can mention those in the CapabilityStatement - AFAIK there's no single approach to do that...
