USCoreR4 Implementation Guide CI Build

This is the Continuous Integration Build of the USCoreR4 Implementation Guide, based on FHIR Version 3.6.0. See the Directory of published versions

StructureDefinition-us-core-location

This profile sets minimum expectations for the Location resource for recording, searching for and fetching a Location associated with a patient, provider or organization. It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets SHALL be present in the resource when using this profile.

Mandatory Data Elements and Terminology

The following data-elements are mandatory (i.e data MUST be present). These are presented below in a simple human-readable explanation. Profile specific guidance and examples are provided as well. The Formal Profile Definition below provides the formal summary, definitions, and terminology requirements.

Each Location must have:

  1. A name

Additional Profile specific implementation guidance:

When available the following must be sent:

  1. Location.status
  2. Location.name
  3. Location.telecom
  4. Location.address
  5. managingOrganization

Quick Start

Below is an overview of the required set of RESTful FHIR interactions - for example, search and read operations - for this profile. See the Conformance requirements for a complete list of supported RESTful interactions for this IG.

GET [base]/Location?name=[string]

Example: GET [base]/Location?name=Health

Support: Mandatory

Implementation Notes: Search based on text name (how to search by string).

Response Class:

  • (Status 200): successful operation
  • (Status 400): invalid parameter
  • (Status 401/4xx): unauthorized request
  • (Status 403): insufficient scope

GET [base]/Location?address=[string]

Example: GET [base]/Location?address=Arbor

Example: GET [base]/Location?address-postalcode=48104

Support: Mandatory

Implementation Notes: Search based on text address (how to search by string).

SHOULD support:

  • address-city
  • address-state
  • address-postalcode

Response Class:

  • (Status 200): successful operation
  • (Status 400): invalid parameter
  • (Status 401/4xx): unauthorized request
  • (Status 403): insufficient scope
