Usage

Location includes both incidental locations (a place which is used for healthcare without prior designation or authorization) and dedicated, formally appointed locations. Locations may be private, public, mobile or fixed and scale from small freezers to full hospital buildings or parking garages.

Location is used in a variety of ways in an eReferral process:

  • In an eReferral ServiceRequest it is used to represent

    • the Patient's general pracitioner's location
    • the eReferral Requester's location
    • an appointment provider's location

  • In a Provider or HealthcareService Registry, it is used to represent location of the provided service. In this case additional fields become useful, such as physicalType, position, managingOrganization, hoursOfOperation, and availabilityExceptions.

Notes

.id

  • used to uniquely identify the resource
  • if a persistent identity for the resource is not available to use when constructing a message Bundle for transmission via Direct Messaging, a UUID SHOULD be used in this element (with a corresponding value in Bundle.entry.fullUrl)

.meta.profile

  • used to declare conformance to this profile
  • populate with a fixed value: http://ehealthontario.ca/fhir/StructureDefinition/ca-on-eReferral-profile-Location|1.0.0

.telecom

  • also included HealthcareService & PractitionerRole
  • Location.telecom value takes precedence when provided
