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.
Traditionally, a location refers to the physical place where healthcare services are provided, practitioners are employed, and organizations are based. This information is captured by the position element. For the National Directory, there is a need to address insurance plan coverage areas and insurance provider network coverage areas. This information is defined by the location-boundary-geojson extension element.

The search parameters outlined above are straightforward for basic scenarios but have limitations in handling complex combination queries. To enhance these capabilities, employing the special search parameters _filter is recommended.
The FHIR path for the managing organization is Location.managingOrganization
, but the search parameter is organization
. For example, to search for all locations assoicated with an managingOrganization has ID Hospital
should write as:
GET [base]/Location?organization=Organization/Hospital
You can also search for locations associated with the managing organizations by name or other criteria. For example, to search for all locations associated with an organization with the name of Hartford General Hospital
:
GET [base]/Location?organization:Organization.name=Hartford General Hospital
You can add additional search criteria to further narrow down your search results. For example, to search for all locations associated with the Hartford General Hospital
organization that have a status of active
:
GET [base]/Location?organization:Organization.name=Hartford General Hospital&status=active
You can search for all Locations and their associated related resources (in this case, organization) which are managering some of locations. The _include parameter to indicate that the managingOrganization resources be included in the result.
GET [base]//Location?_include=Location:organization
GeoJSON encodes spatial data structures, including points, lines, polygons, and multi-part collections of these types. It is a common format for representing simple geographic features along with their non-spatial attributes. For example, a polygon area for Washington, D.C. is represented as:
{
"type"": ""Feature",
"geometry": {
"type": "Polygon",
"coordinates": [
[
[-77.119759, 38.934343],
[-77.041697, 38.99511],
[-76.910535, 38.892912],
[-77.038088, 38.791015],
[-77.119759, 38.934343]
]
]
},
"properties": {
"name"": "Washington, D.C."
}
}
The data type of the location-boundary-geojson is Attachment, with the contentType set to application/geo+json and the data formatted as base64Binary. To represent a polygon area for Washington, D.C., you can use a JSON to Base64 converter to transform the JSON data into base64Binary format, which will look like this:
{
"resourceType" : "Location",
"id" : "wash-dc-metro",

"profile" : ["http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/vhdir/StructureDefinition/vhdir-location"]

The special contains search parameter tests whether the provided geocoded point(s) (expressed as [latitude]|[longitude] using the WGS84 datum) are within the defined boundary. Support for multiple points can also be provided using the , syntax, which is interpreted as the location returned in the search containing at least one of the provided coordinates. For example, for the Washington, D.C. polygon area:
GET [base]/Location?contains=-77.119759|38.934343,-77.041697|38.99511,-76.910535|38.892912,-77.038088|38.791015,-77.119759|38.934343
