RLLocationLuogoPrestazioneCureDom

Unique code or number identifying the location to its users.

Organization label locations in registries, need to keep track of those.

The status property covers the general availability of the resource, not the current value which may be covered by the operationStatus, or by a schedule/slots if they are configured for the location.

Note that FHIR strings SHALL NOT exceed 1MB in size

The operational status covers operation values most relevant to beds (but can also apply to rooms/units/chairs/etc. such as an isolation unit/dialysis chair). This typically covers concepts such as contamination, housekeeping, and other activities like maintenance.

Codes may be defined very casually in enumerations or code lists, up to very formal definitions such as SNOMED CT - see the HL7 v3 Core Principles for more information.

Name of the location as used by humans. Does not need to be unique.

If the name of a location changes, consider putting the old name in the alias column so that it can still be located through searches.

A list of alternate names that the location is known as, or was known as, in the past.

Over time locations and organizations go through many changes and can be known by different names.

For searching knowing previous names that the location was known by can be very useful.

There are no dates associated with the alias/historic names, as this is not intended to track when names were used, but to assist in searching so that older names can still result in identifying the location.

Description of the Location, which helps in finding or referencing the place.

Humans need additional information to verify a correct location has been identified.

Note that FHIR strings SHALL NOT exceed 1MB in size

Indicates whether a resource instance represents a specific location or a class of locations.

When using a Location resource for scheduling or orders, we need to be able to refer to a class of Locations instead of a specific Location.

This is labeled as a modifier because whether or not the location is a class of locations changes how it can be used and understood.

Indicates the type of function performed at the location.

Not all terminology uses fit this general pattern. In some cases, models should not use CodeableConcept and use Coding directly and provide their own structure for managing text, codings, translations and the relationship between elements and pre- and post-coordination.

The contact details of communication devices available at the location. This can include phone numbers, fax numbers, mobile numbers, email addresses and web sites.

Physical location.

If locations can be visited, we need to keep track of their address.

Additional addresses should be recorded using another instance of the Location resource, or via the Organization.

The identification of the code system that defines the meaning of the symbol in the code.

Need to be unambiguous about the source of the definition of the symbol.

The URI may be an OID (urn:oid:...) or a UUID (urn:uuid:...). OIDs and UUIDs SHALL be references to the HL7 OID registry. Otherwise, the URI should come from HL7's list of FHIR defined special URIs or it should reference to some definition that establishes the system clearly and unambiguously.

The version of the code system which was used when choosing this code. Note that a well-maintained code system does not need the version reported, because the meaning of codes is consistent across versions. However this cannot consistently be assured, and when the meaning is not guaranteed to be consistent, the version SHOULD be exchanged.

Where the terminology does not clearly define what string should be used to identify code system versions, the recommendation is to use the date (expressed in FHIR date format) on which that version was officially published as the version date.

Indicates that this coding was chosen by a user directly - e.g. off a pick list of available items (codes or displays).

This has been identified as a clinical safety criterium - that this exact system/code pair was chosen explicitly, rather than inferred by the system based on some rules or language processing.

Amongst a set of alternatives, a directly chosen code is the most appropriate starting point for new translations. There is some ambiguity about what exactly 'directly chosen' implies, and trading partner agreement may be needed to clarify the use of this element and its consequences more completely.

A human language representation of the concept as seen/selected/uttered by the user who entered the data and/or which represents the intended meaning of the user.

The codes from the terminologies do not always capture the correct meaning with all the nuances of the human using them, or sometimes there is no appropriate code at all. In these cases, the text is used to capture the full meaning of the source.

Very often the text is the same as a displayName of one of the codings.

Longitude. The value domain and the interpretation are the same as for the text of the longitude element in KML (see notes below).

Do not use an IEEE type floating point type, instead use something that works like a true decimal, with inbuilt precision (e.g. Java BigInteger)

Latitude. The value domain and the interpretation are the same as for the text of the latitude element in KML (see notes below).

Do not use an IEEE type floating point type, instead use something that works like a true decimal, with inbuilt precision (e.g. Java BigInteger)

Altitude. The value domain and the interpretation are the same as for the text of the altitude element in KML (see notes below).

Do not use an IEEE type floating point type, instead use something that works like a true decimal, with inbuilt precision (e.g. Java BigInteger)

The organization responsible for the provisioning and upkeep of the location.

Need to know who manages the location.

This can also be used as the part of the organization hierarchy where this location provides services. These services can be defined through the HealthcareService resource.

Another Location of which this Location is physically a part of.

For purposes of location, display and identification, knowing which locations are located within other locations is important.

References SHALL be a reference to an actual FHIR resource, and SHALL be resolveable (allowing for access control, temporary unavailability, etc.). Resolution can be either by retrieval from the URL, or, where applicable by resource type, by treating an absolute reference as a canonical URL and looking it up in a local registry/repository.

Indicates which days of the week are available between the start and end Times.

Note that FHIR strings SHALL NOT exceed 1MB in size

The Location is open all day.

Time that the Location opens.

Time that the Location closes.

A description of when the locations opening ours are different to normal, e.g. public holiday availability. Succinctly describing all possible exceptions to normal site availability as detailed in the opening hours Times.

Note that FHIR strings SHALL NOT exceed 1MB in size

Technical endpoints providing access to services operated for the location.

Organizations may have different systems at different locations that provide various services and need to be able to define the technical connection details for how to connect to them, and for what purpose.

References SHALL be a reference to an actual FHIR resource, and SHALL be resolveable (allowing for access control, temporary unavailability, etc.). Resolution can be either by retrieval from the URL, or, where applicable by resource type, by treating an absolute reference as a canonical URL and looking it up in a local registry/repository.
