US Core Implementation Guide, published by HL7 International / Cross-Group Projects. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 8.0.0-ballot built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/HL7/US-Core/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions

The US Core Location Profile inherits from the FHIR Location resource; refer to it for scope and usage definitions. This profile sets minimum expectations for the Location resource for recording, searching, and fetching a "physical place of available services or resources." It specifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets SHALL be present and constrains how the elements are used. Providing the floor for standards development for specific use cases promotes interoperability and adoption.

Mandatory and Must Support Data Elements

The following data elements must always be present (Mandatory definition) or must be supported if the data is present in the sending system (Must Support definition). They are presented below in a simple human-readable explanation. Profile specific guidance and examples are provided as well. The Formal Views below provides the formal summary, definitions, and terminology requirements.

Each Location Must Have:

  1. A name

Each Location Must Support:

  1. Location or facility identifier
  2. A status (whether in use)
  3. The type of location or facility*
  4. Contact details of the location
  5. A Location address*
  6. The managing organization

*see guidance below

Additional Profile specific implementation guidance:

Changes since version 7.0.0:

  • The data elements list has changed

    • Formal Views of Profile Content

    Notes:

    Quick Start

    Below is an overview of the required Server RESTful FHIR interactions for this profile - for example, search and read operations - when supporting the US Core interactions to access this profile's information (Profile Support + Interaction Support). Note that systems that support only US Core Profiles (Profile Only Support) are not required to support these interactions. See the US Core Server CapabilityStatement for a complete list of supported RESTful interactions for this IG.

    • See the Scopes Format section for a description of the SMART scopes syntax.
    • See the Search Syntax section for a description of the US Core search syntax.
    • See the General Requirements section for additional rules and expectations when a Server requires status parameters.
    • See the General Guidance section for additional guidance on searching for multiple patients.

    US Core Scopes

    Servers providing access to data MAY support these US Core SMART Scopes:

    Mandatory Search Parameters:

    The following search parameters and search parameter combinations SHALL be supported:

    1. SHALL support searching by location name using the name search parameter:

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

      Example:

      1. GET [base]/Location?name=Health

      Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Location resources that match the name (how to search by string)

    2. SHALL support searching location based on text address using the address search parameter:

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

      Example:

      1. GET [base]/Location?address=Arbor

      Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Location resources that match the address string (how to search by string)

    Optional Search Parameters:

    The following search parameter combinations SHOULD be supported:

    1. SHOULD support searching using the address-city search parameter:

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

      Example:

      1. GET [base]/Location?address-city=Ann Arbor

      Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Location resources for the city (how to search by string)

    2. SHOULD support searching using the address-state search parameter:

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

      Example:

      1. GET [base]/Location?address-state=MI

      Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Location resources for the state (how to search by string)

    3. SHOULD support searching using the address-postalcode search parameter:

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

      Example:

      1. GET [base]/Location?address-postalcode=48104

      Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all Location resources for the ZIP code (how to search by string)
