## Resource Profile: US Quality Core Location

Official URL: http://fhir.org/guides/astp/us-quality-core/StructureDefinition/us-quality-core-location | Version: 0.1.0
Active as of 2026-03-31 | Computable Name: USQualityCoreLocation

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

Usage

See the patterns page for implementation and usage patterns.

    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)
        )

### Examples

Example of the south wing of Mean Joe Greene University Medical Center

USCDI+ Quality Elements:

- name: (USCDI+ Quality) Name by which a facility or location is known.
- type: (USCDI+ Quality) Category of service or resource available in a location.
- address: (USCDI+ Quality) Physical location
