Description
A Location is a physical place where care can be delivered. Examples of Locations include buildings, wards, rooms, and vehicles. A Location can also represent a jurisdiction such as a health region or zones. A Location will have attributes such as a unique identifier, and may have attributes such as hours of operation, geographic information (address, geocode), hours operation. A Location may be associated with an Organization. A Location may also be in a hierarchy with other Locations.

Additional Functionalities Usage
Search for Provider and Associated Organization by Role in a Specific Province
Location.addressas a populated field would be utilized for this query
Search for a provider location with entity matching and criteria (address-city, type)
- Utilize
Locaiton.typefor provider location type - Use the
Location.address(including.city/.state) for additional support in specifying the criteria Note: To perform this query no special operation (i.e., $match) is needed; standard multi-parameter query would suffice
