DataStandardsWales-Location

Overview

The Location resource contains information about a physical place where services are provided and resources and participants may be stored, found, contained, or accommodated. Typical examples include buildings, wards, corridors, rooms or beds, but may also include mobile clinics, a vehicle or lift, or a patient's home.

The DataStandardsWales-Location profile is derived from the UK Core Location Profile. It defines additional rules for use within health and care organisations in Wales. Further guidance on the use of the Location resource along with other administrative FHIR resources is provided within the guidance section of this guide.
