## Resource Profile: QICore Location

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/StructureDefinition/qicore-location | Version: 8.0.0-ballot
Standards status: Trial-use Active as of 2018-08-22 | Maturity Level: 4 | Computable Name: QICoreLocation

Profile of Location for decision support/quality metrics. Defines the core set of elements and extensions for quality rule and measure authors.

"Must Have", "QI Elements" and "primary code path" are defined in the QI-Core Must Support section.
Must Have:

- name: Name by which a facility or location is known.

QI Elements:

- status: (QI) active | suspended | inactive
- telecom: (QI) Contact details of the location
- managingOrganization: (QI) Organization responsible for provisioning and upkeep
- type: (QI) Category of service or resource available in a location.

Primary code path: type
(PCPath) This element is the primary code path for this resource CQL Retrieve
Usage

    define "Encounter With ICU Location Stay 1 Day or More":
      "Encounter With Age Range and Without VTE Diagnosis or Obstetrical Conditions" QualifyingEncounter
        where exists ( QualifyingEncounter.location Location
          where Global.GetLocation(Location.location).type in "Intensive Care Unit"
            and Global."LengthInDays"(Location.period) >= 1
            and Location.period starts during TJC."CalendarDayOfOrDayAfter"(start of QualifyingEncounter.period)
        )

See the patterns page for implementation and usage patterns.
