When a boundary is available, the location-boundary-geojson extension should be used with the given url, contentType, and data.

The boundary contentType shall be application/geo+json.

The boundary data shall be in the valueAttachment data element.

One type must be set to: https://profiles.ihe.net/ITI/mCSD/CodeSystem/IHE.mCSD.Organization.Location.Types#jurisdiction

The reference to the mCSD Organization resource for this jurisdiction.

Details and position information for a physical place where services are provided and resources and participants may be stored, found, contained, or accommodated.

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

An Extension

When a boundary is available, the location-boundary-geojson extension should be used with the given url, contentType, and data.

The format of the content is GeoJSON in both the JSON and XML formats. It will be stored in the resource using the .data property, and externally referenced via the URL property. The mimetype to be used will be 'application/geo+json'.

An Extension

Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.

The definition may point directly to a computable or human-readable definition of the extensibility codes, or it may be a logical URI as declared in some other specification. The definition SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension.

Value of extension - must be one of a constrained set of the data types (see Extensibility for a list).

The boundary contentType shall be application/geo+json.

The mime type of an attachment. Any valid mime type is allowed.

Processors of the data need to be able to know how to interpret the data.

The boundary data shall be in the valueAttachment data element.

The base64-encoded data SHALL be expressed in the same character set as the base resource XML or JSON.

The data needs to able to be transmitted inline.

An Extension

The status code of the Location: active | suspended | inactive

Indicates whether the location is still in use.

The name of the Location.

If the name of a location changes, consider putting the old name in the alias column so that it can still be located through searches.

One type must be set to: https://profiles.ihe.net/ITI/mCSD/CodeSystem/IHE.mCSD.Organization.Location.Types#jurisdiction

Indicates the type of function performed at the location.

A code that describes the type of Location.

Indicates the type of function performed at the location.

A code that describes the physical form of the Location.

Physical form of the location.

For purposes of showing relevant locations in queries, we need to categorize locations.

The reference to the mCSD Organization resource for this jurisdiction.

This can also be used as the part of the organization hierarchy where this location provides services. These services can be defined through the HealthcareService resource.

Need to know who manages the location.

Details and position information for a physical place where services are provided and resources and participants may be stored, found, contained, or accommodated.

The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.

The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation.

The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

The base language in which the resource is written.

Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute).

A human language.

A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.

Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added later.

These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.

This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags In their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels.

An Extension

When a boundary is available, the location-boundary-geojson extension should be used with the given url, contentType, and data.

The format of the content is GeoJSON in both the JSON and XML formats. It will be stored in the resource using the .data property, and externally referenced via the URL property. The mimetype to be used will be 'application/geo+json'.

Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.

An Extension

Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.

The definition may point directly to a computable or human-readable definition of the extensibility codes, or it may be a logical URI as declared in some other specification. The definition SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension.

Value of extension - must be one of a constrained set of the data types (see Extensibility for a list).

Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

The boundary contentType shall be application/geo+json.

The mime type of an attachment. Any valid mime type is allowed.

Processors of the data need to be able to know how to interpret the data.

The human language of the content. The value can be any valid value according to BCP 47.

A human language.

Users need to be able to choose between the languages in a set of attachments.

The boundary data shall be in the valueAttachment data element.

The base64-encoded data SHALL be expressed in the same character set as the base resource XML or JSON.

The data needs to able to be transmitted inline.

A location where the data can be accessed.

If both data and url are provided, the url SHALL point to the same content as the data contains. Urls may be relative references or may reference transient locations such as a wrapping envelope using cid: though this has ramifications for using signatures. Relative URLs are interpreted relative to the service url, like a resource reference, rather than relative to the resource itself. If a URL is provided, it SHALL resolve to actual data.

The data needs to be transmitted by reference.

The number of bytes of data that make up this attachment (before base64 encoding, if that is done).

The number of bytes is redundant if the data is provided as a base64binary, but is useful if the data is provided as a url reference.

Representing the size allows applications to determine whether they should fetch the content automatically in advance, or refuse to fetch it at all.

The calculated hash of the data using SHA-1. Represented using base64.

The hash is calculated on the data prior to base64 encoding, if the data is based64 encoded. The hash is not intended to support digital signatures. Where protection against malicious threats a digital signature should be considered, see Provenance.signature for mechanism to protect a resource with a digital signature.

Included so that applications can verify that the contents of a location have not changed due to technical failures (e.g., storage rot, transport glitch, incorrect version).

A label or set of text to display in place of the data.

Applications need a label to display to a human user in place of the actual data if the data cannot be rendered or perceived by the viewer.

The date that the attachment was first created.

This is often tracked as an integrity issue for use of the attachment.

An Extension

Unique code or number identifying the location to its users.

Organization label locations in registries, need to keep track of those.

The status code of the Location: active | suspended | inactive

Indicates whether the location is still in use.

The operational status covers operation values most relevant to beds (but can also apply to rooms/units/chairs/etc. such as an isolation unit/dialysis chair). This typically covers concepts such as contamination, housekeeping, and other activities like maintenance.

The operational status if the location (where typically a bed/room).

The name of the Location.

If the name of a location changes, consider putting the old name in the alias column so that it can still be located through searches.

A list of alternate names that the location is known as, or was known as, in the past.

There are no dates associated with the alias/historic names, as this is not intended to track when names were used, but to assist in searching so that older names can still result in identifying the location.

Over time locations and organizations go through many changes and can be known by different names.

For searching knowing previous names that the location was known by can be very useful.

Description of the Location, which helps in finding or referencing the place.

Humans need additional information to verify a correct location has been identified.

Indicates whether a resource instance represents a specific location or a class of locations.

This is labeled as a modifier because whether or not the location is a class of locations changes how it can be used and understood.

Indicates whether a resource instance represents a specific location or a class of locations.

When using a Location resource for scheduling or orders, we need to be able to refer to a class of Locations instead of a specific Location.

One type must be set to: https://profiles.ihe.net/ITI/mCSD/CodeSystem/IHE.mCSD.Organization.Location.Types#jurisdiction

Indicates the type of function performed at the location.

A code that describes the type of Location.

Indicates the type of function performed at the location.

The contact details of communication devices available at the location. This can include phone numbers, fax numbers, mobile numbers, email addresses and web sites.

Physical location.

Additional addresses should be recorded using another instance of the Location resource, or via the Organization.

If locations can be visited, we need to keep track of their address.

A code that describes the physical form of the Location.

Physical form of the location.

For purposes of showing relevant locations in queries, we need to categorize locations.

The absolute geographic location of the Location, expressed using the WGS84 datum (This is the same co-ordinate system used in KML).

For mobile applications and automated route-finding knowing the exact location of the Location is required.

Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.

Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

Longitude. The value domain and the interpretation are the same as for the text of the longitude element in KML (see notes below).

Latitude. The value domain and the interpretation are the same as for the text of the latitude element in KML (see notes below).

For purposes of location, display and identification, knowing which locations are located within other locations is important.

What days/times during a week is this location usually open.

This type of information is commonly found published in directories and on websites informing customers when the facility is available.

Specific services within the location may have their own hours which could be shorter (or longer) than the locations hours.
