An address expressed using postal conventions (as opposed to GPS or other location definition formats)
An address expressed using postal conventions (as opposed to GPS or other location definition formats). This data type may be used to convey addresses for use in delivering mail as well as for visiting locations which might not be valid for mail delivery. There are a variety of postal address formats defined around the world.
Note: address is intended to describe postal addresses for administrative purposes, not to describe absolute geographical coordinates. Postal addresses are often used as proxies for physical locations (also see the [Location](http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/location.html#) resource).
All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())
For a Swiss address, a canton abbreviation from the value set 'eCH-0007 Canton Abbreviation' must be used.
country.extension.where(url = 'http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/iso21090-codedString').empty() or (country.extension.where(url = 'http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/iso21090-codedString').value.code.startsWith('CH') = false) or (country.extension.where(url = 'http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/iso21090-codedString').value.code.startsWith('CH').exists() and (state.empty() or state.memberOf('http://fhir.ch/ig/ch-core/ValueSet/ech-7-cantonabbreviation')))
Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.
Extensions are always sliced by (at least) url
Additional content defined by implementations
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.
Must have either extensions or value[x], not both
exists(f:extension)!=exists(f:*[starts-with(local-name(.), "value")])
home | work | temp | old | billing - purpose of this address
Applications can assume that an address is current unless it explicitly says that it is temporary or old.
Allows an appropriate address to be chosen from a list of many.
This is labeled as "Is Modifier" because applications should not mistake a temporary or old address etc.for a current/permanent one
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](http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/location.html#) 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.
XAD.1 + XAD.2 + XAD.3 + XAD.4 + XAD.5 + XAD.6
Street name, number, direction & P.O. Box etc.
This component contains the house number, apartment number, street name, street direction, P.O. Box number, delivery hints, and similar address information.
The order in which lines should appear in an address label
XAD.1 + XAD.2 (note: XAD.1 and XAD.2 have different meanings for a company address than for a person address)
unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references)
exists(f:extension)!=exists(f:*[starts-with(local-name(.), 'value')])
eCH-0010: Extension to define line types for an address
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](http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/extensibility.html) for a list).
Value of extension - may be a resource or one of a constrained set of the data types (see Extensibility in the spec for list).
A set of codes advising a system or user which name in a set of names to select for a given purpose.
street part of the street line, e.g. withouth housenumber
The number of a building, house or lot alongside the street. Also known as "primary street number". This does not number the street but rather the building.
unitID, dwellingNumber part of the street line
The number or name of a specific unit contained within a building or complex, as assigned by that building or complex.
Postbox addresses need an postbox text and optional postbox number
Optional postOfficeBoxNumber as a separate part of the postOfficeBoxText
A numbered box located in a post station.
The name of the city, town, suburb, village or other community or delivery center.
Extension for eCH-0011 - bfs number (ministry of statistics number)
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).
Use these values for a Swiss or Liechtenstein address
A postal code designating a region defined by the postal service.
eCH-0010: swissZipCode, swissZipCodeAddOn, swissZipCodeId, foreignZipCode
Country (e.g. can be ISO 3166 2 or 3 letter code)
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.
ISO Country Alpha-2 or ISO Country Alpha-3 code
The content of the country code element (if present) SHALL be selected EITHER from ValueSet ISO Country Alpha-2 http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/iso3166-1-2 OR MAY be selected from ISO Country Alpha-3 Value Set http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/iso3166-1-3, if the country is not specified in value Set ISO Country Alpha-2 http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/iso3166-1-2.
((value.code.length()=2) and value.code.memberOf('http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/iso3166-1-2')) or ((value.code.length() = 3) and value.code.memberOf('http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/iso3166-1-3'))
Allows addresses to be placed in historical context.
