This CH EKM extension enables to provide the exposure address (the place where the patient was most likely exposed, form item 'Exposition: wo'). The country is given as an ISO 3166 code in Address.country plus the coded country in the iso21090-codedString extension; the precise location goes into Address.city. When the place of exposure is reported as unknown, the Address carries a data-absent-reason - on its own if nothing else was reported, or alongside a country/location that was reported as well (the form's 'Unbekannt' box does not suppress the other answers, see issue #26).

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).

Provides a reason why the expected value or elements in the element that is extended are missing.

The purpose of this address.

Applications can assume that an address is current unless it explicitly says that it is temporary or old.

The use of an address.

Allows an appropriate address to be chosen from a list of many.

The name of the city, town, suburb, village or other community or delivery center.

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

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 purpose of this address.

Applications can assume that an address is current unless it explicitly says that it is temporary or old.

The use of an address.

Allows an appropriate address to be chosen from a list of many.

Distinguishes between physical addresses (those you can visit) and mailing addresses (e.g. PO Boxes and care-of addresses). Most addresses are both.

The definition of Address states that "address is intended to describe postal addresses, not physical locations". However, many applications track whether an address has a dual purpose of being a location that can be visited as well as being a valid delivery destination, and Postal addresses are often used as proxies for physical locations (also see the Location resource).

The type of an address (physical / postal).

Specifies the entire address as it should be displayed e.g. on a postal label. This may be provided instead of or as well as the specific parts.

Can provide both a text representation and parts. Applications updating an address SHALL ensure that when both text and parts are present, no content is included in the text that isn't found in a part.

A renderable, unencoded form.

This component contains the house number, apartment number, street name, street direction, P.O. Box number, delivery hints, and similar address information.

The name of the city, town, suburb, village or other community or delivery center.

The name of the administrative area (county).

District is sometimes known as county, but in some regions 'county' is used in place of city (municipality), so county name should be conveyed in city instead.

Sub-unit of a country with limited sovereignty in a federally organized country. A code may be used if codes are in common use (e.g. US 2 letter state codes).

A postal code designating a region defined by the postal service.

Country - a nation as commonly understood or generally accepted.

ISO 3166 3 letter codes can be used in place of a human readable country name.

An Extension

Provides a coded expression for the content represented in a string.

The actual value

Time period when address was/is in use.

Allows addresses to be placed in historical context.
