# FHIR FHIRPath Function: conformsTo

This page is part of **FHIR FHIRPath** (FHIR-specific extensions). Base spec lives at [FHIRPath](/fhirpath).

`conformsTo(structure : string) : Boolean`

Returns `true` if the single input element conforms to the profile specified by the `structure` argument, and false otherwise. If the input is not a single item, the structure is empty, or the structure cannot be resolved to a valid profile, the return value is empty.
