SD.2 StructureDefinition-argo-location

This profile sets minimum expectations for the Location resource for recording, searching for and fetching a Location associated with a provider or organization. It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets SHALL be present in the resource when using this profile.

Mandatory Data Elements and Terminology

The following data-elements are mandatory (i.e data MUST be present). These are presented below in a simple human-readable explanation. Profile specific guidance and examples are provided as well. The Formal Profile Definition below provides the formal summary, definitions, and terminology requirements.

Example: GET [base]/Location?identifier=http://hospital.smarthealthit.org/Location|123571

Support: Mandatory to search by identifier.

Implementation Notes: Search based on Location identifier (how to search by token).

GET [base]/Location?name=[string]

Example: GET [base]/Location?name=Health

Support: Mandatory to support search by Location name.

Implementation Notes: Search based on text name (how to search by string).

GET [base]/Location?address=[string]

Example: GET [base]/Location?address=Arbor

Example: GET [base]/Location?address-postalcode=48104

Support: Mandatory to support search by address.

Implementation Notes: Search based on text address (how to search by string).

SHOULD support the following search parameters:

  • address-city
  • address-state
  • address-postalcode
