UK Core Implementation Guide 0.2.0 - STU1

StructureDefinition-UKCore-Location

Defines the UK Core constraints and extensions on the Location resource for the minimal set of data to query and retrieve location information.

Profile Purpose

This profile can be used to exchange details and position information for a physical place where services are provided and resources and participants may be stored, found, contained, or accommodated. The location includes both incidental locations (a place which is used for healthcare without prior designation or authorisation) 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.

Example Usage Scenarios

The following are example usage scenarios for the UK Core Location profile:

  • To describe care locations such as hospital wards
  • To describe locations where patient care has or may take place, including scenes of accidents like by the side of a road.

Profile specific implementation guidance:

Minimal Viable Content

As a minimum either a Location.identifier or Location.name should be provided.

All other elements are optional.


identifier

The identifier is the most important element of a FHIR resource for interoperability. It acts as the externally facing unique business identifier for the resource. A key phrase from the FHIR R4 standard is;

[for identifier] ...All resources that have an identifier element support searching by the identifier, so that records can be located by that method.

Provider Systems

It is recommended that the identifier value is odsSiteCode, but another identifier can be used.

Consumer Systems

Consumer systems MUST consume this data.

The ODS site code for the location

Location.identifier:odsSiteCode.use usual | official | temp | secondary | old (If known) Location.identifier:odsSiteCode.type This should be set to ??? Location.identifier:odsSiteCode.system The url is ??? Location.identifier:odsSiteCode.value The ODS site code Location.identifier:odsSiteCode.period The period for which the code is valid - May be omitted Location.identifier:odsSiteCode.assigner Implicit for ODS site codes - Should be omitted


status

The general availability of the location.

This element is optional but if used must use a value from the codeSystem below:

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.


operationalStatus

The current operational status of the location (typically only for a bed/room).

This refers to the current operational status of a location not it's general availabity which is represented by Location.status.

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.

This ValueSet has a preferred binding in the FHIR standard and no UK Core alternative is currently used. Implementers may chaose to use an alternative CodeSystem if required by their use case.

}


name

The name of the location.

alias

Alternative names for the location

description

Additional details about the location that could be displayed as further information to identify the location beyond its name.


mode

The Location.mode element can be used to indicate whether a Location resource represents a specific (potentially identifiable) Location (instance), or a class of Locations (kind). Especially Resources capturing orders, resource scheduling, plans and definitions may refer to Locations in kind mode. For these domains, it is often not necessary to refer to a specific Location, but rather to a class of Locations. An example of this is found in planning, where we need to allocate an "isolation room" for a patient, or need to dispatch "an ambulance" at a certain time. In these cases it is not important exactly which isolation room or ambulance is allocated, and it is sufficient to just indicate a kind of Location.

Note that kind should not be used to represent Locations where an actual instance of a Location was involved, but identifying information is missing. E.g. when a patient arrived 'by ambulance', but it is not known by which ambulance, this should be represented using a Location in instance mode with a missing identifier, not a Location of kind ambulance.

Some of Location's data elements are only relevant when mode is instance and should not be used when mode is kind: (however this information could still be included if was relevant, such as when it is a generic item, but not globally generic, e.g. a Burgers MU ambulance).


type

Indicates the type of function performed at the location.

telecom

A contact detail (e.g. a telephone number or an email address) by which the location may be contacted.

telecom uses the ContactPoint datatype.


address

The address of the location using the Address datatype.


physicalType

The physical type of the location. e.g. Bed, ward, building from this set of codes.

This element has an example binding to a HL7 ValueSet. No UKCore ValueSet is currently defined and therefore implementers are free to use either HL7 ValueSet or an alternative if they wish to do so. If deemed a requirement future releases will address this by defining an appropriate UK Core ValueSet.

This code system http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/location-physical-type defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinition
siSiteA collection of buildings or other locations such as a site or a campus.
buBuildingAny Building or structure. This may contain rooms, corridors, wings, etc. It might not have walls, or a roof, but is considered a defined/allocated space.
wiWingA Wing within a Building, this often contains levels, rooms and corridors.
waWardA Ward is a section of a medical facility that may contain rooms and other types of location.
lvlLevelA Level in a multi-level Building/Structure.
coCorridorAny corridor within a Building, that may connect rooms.
roRoomA space that is allocated as a room, it may have walls/roof etc., but does not require these.
bdBedA space that is allocated for sleeping/laying on. This is not the physical bed/trolley that may be moved about, but the space it may occupy.
veVehicleA means of transportation.
hoHouseA residential dwelling. Usually used to reference a location that a person/patient may reside.
caCabinetA container that can store goods, equipment, medications or other items.
rdRoadA defined path to travel between 2 points that has a known name.
areaAreaA defined physical boundary of something, such as a flood risk zone, region, postcode
jdnJurisdictionA wide scope that covers a conceptual domain, such as a Nation (Country wide community or Federal Government - e.g. Ministry of Health), Province or State (community or Government), Business (throughout the enterprise), Nation with a business scope of an agency (e.g. CDC, FDA etc.) or a Business segment (UK Pharmacy), not just an physical boundary
