HL7 FHIR® Validated Healthcare Directory Implementation Guide STU 1

StructureDefinition-vhdir-location

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

Background & Scope

A location is the physical place where healthcare services are provided, practitioners are employed, organizations are based, etc. Locations can range in scope from a room in a building to a geographic region/area.

This profile modifies the base Lractitioner resource in the following manner:

  • Constrains the cardinality of location.status (1..1), location.operationalStatus (0..0), location.mode (0..0), location.telecom.system (1..1), and location.telecom.value (1..1),

  • All references SHALL conform to the appropriate Validated Healthcare Directory Implementation Guide profile

  • Adds extensions:

  1. Identifier status (1..1) - indicates the status of a location’s identifier
  2. Via intermediary (0..1) - a reference to an alternative point of contact for this location
  3. Available time (0..*) - indicates when a location is available for contact
  4. Boundary-geojson (0..*) - indicates a region/area for the location
  5. Accessibility (0..*) - indicates accessibility options available at the location (e.g. handicap accessibility)
  6. EHR (0..*) - provides information about the EHR product(s) used at the location
  7. NewPatients (0..*) - indicates whether the location is accepting new patients
  8. NewPatientProfile (0..*) - a description of the type of patients the location accepts (e.g. pediatric only)
  9. Restriction (0..*) - indicates whether disclosure of any data associated with a location is restricted

Examples:

The following are example uses for the vhdir-location profile:

Mandatory Data Elements

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

Each Location must have:

  1. One coded value in location.status

Support: MAY support search by the accessibility parameter

  • including the modifiers: text

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

Support: SHALL support search by the address parameter

  • including the modifiers: contains, exact

GET [base]/Location?endpoint=[id]

Support: SHOULD support search by the endpoint parameter

  • with a target type: Endpoint
  • including these search paramaters which may be chained: endpoint.identifier, endpoint.connection-type, endpoint.organization

Support: SHALL support search by the identifier parameter

  • including the modifiers: text, ofType

GET [base]/Location?identifier-assigner=[id]

Support: MAY support search by the identifier-assigner parameter

  • with a target type: Organization
  • including the modifiers: below
  • including these search paramaters which may be chained: identifier-assigner.identifier, identifier-assigner.name

GET [base]/Location?new-patient=[code]

Support: SHOULD support search by the new-patient parameter

GET [base]/Location?new-patient-network=[id]

Support: SHOULD support search by the new-patient-network parameter

  • with a target type: Organization
  • including these search paramaters which may be chained: new-patient-network.identifier, new-patient-network.name, new-patient-network.partof

GET [base]/Location?organization=[id]

Support: SHALL support search by the organization parameter

  • with a target type: Organization
  • including the modifiers: above, below
  • including these search paramaters which may be chained: organization.identifier, organization.name, organization.address, organization.partof, organization-type

GET [base]/Location?contains=-83.694810|42.256500

Support: MAY support search by the contains parameter

This is a special search parameter which might leverage a systems geo-spatial features to test that the geocoded point provided (expressed as [latitude]|[longitude] using the WGS84 datum) is contained by the boundary stored in the standard extension boundary-geojson

Support for multiple points can also be provided using the , syntax which is interpretted as the location returned in the search contains at least 1 of the provided co-ordinates.
