Location

Details and position information for a physical place where services are provided and resources and participants may be stored, found, contained, or accommodated. If the element is present, it must have either a @value, an @id, or extensions

Fields

Location.identifier ● [Identifier] list object

Unique code or number identifying the location to its users.

Location.status ● String scalar

The status property covers the general availability of the resource, not the current value which may be covered by the operationStatus, or by a schedule/slots if they are configured for the location.

Location.operationalStatus ● Coding object

The operational status covers operation values most relevant to beds (but can also apply to rooms/units/chairs/etc. such as an isolation unit/dialysis chair). This typically covers concepts such as contamination, housekeeping, and other activities like maintenance.

Location.name ● String scalar

Name of the location as used by humans. Does not need to be unique.

Location.alias ● [String] list scalar

A list of alternate names that the location is known as, or was known as, in the past.

Location.description ● String scalar

Description of the Location, which helps in finding or referencing the place.

Location.mode ● String scalar

Indicates whether a resource instance represents a specific location or a class of locations.

Location.type ● [CodeableConcept] list object

Indicates the type of function performed at the location.

Location.telecom ● [ContactPoint] list object

The contact details of communication devices available at the location. This can include phone numbers, fax numbers, mobile numbers, email addresses and web sites.

Location.address ● Address object

Physical location.

Location.physicalType ● CodeableConcept object

Physical form of the location, e.g. building, room, vehicle, road.

Location.position ● LocationPosition object

The absolute geographic location of the Location, expressed using the WGS84 datum (This is the same co-ordinate system used in KML).

Location.managingOrganization ● Reference object

The organization responsible for the provisioning and upkeep of the location.

Location.partOf ● Reference object

Another Location of which this Location is physically a part of.

Location.hoursOfOperation ● [LocationHoursOfOperation] list object

What days/times during a week is this location usually open.

Location.availabilityExceptions ● String scalar

A description of when the locations opening ours are different to normal, e.g. public holiday availability. Succinctly describing all possible exceptions to normal site availability as detailed in the opening hours Times.

Location.endpoint ● [Reference] list object

Technical endpoints providing access to services operated for the location.

Location.text ● Narrative object

A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it clinically safe for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.

Location.contained ● [Resource] list interface

These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.

Location.extension ● [Extension] list object

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

Location.modifierExtension ● [Extension] list object

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element s descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

Location.id ● String scalar

The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.

Location.meta ● Meta object

The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.

Location.implicitRules ● Uri scalar

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

Location.language ● String scalar

The base language in which the resource is written.

Interfaces

Resource interface

This is the base resource type for everything.
