location

The US Core Location Profile inherits from the FHIR [Location](https://hl7.org/fhir/R4/location.html) resource; refer to it for scope and usage definitions.

The US Core Location Profile inherits from the FHIR Location resource; refer to it for scope and usage definitions. This profile sets minimum expectations for the Location resource for recording, searching, and fetching a "physical place of available services or resources." It specifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets SHALL be present and constrains how the elements are used. Providing the floor for standards development for specific use cases promotes interoperability and adoption.

Source

This table is the union of 3 source models. Columns carrying a From value came from a model that merged into it, so the same row satisfies both specifications.

Columns

Constraints

check (identifier_system is null or identifier_value is not null)
check ((address_latitude_magnitude is null and address_latitude_units is null) or (address_latitude_magnitude is not null and address_latitude_units is not null))
check (address_latitude_magnitude is null or (address_latitude_units = 'deg' and address_latitude_magnitude between -90 and 90))
check ((address_longitude_magnitude is null and address_longitude_units is null) or (address_longitude_magnitude is not null and address_longitude_units is not null))
check (address_longitude_magnitude is null or (address_longitude_units = 'deg' and address_longitude_magnitude between -180 and 180))
check ((address_altitude_magnitude is null and address_altitude_units is null) or (address_altitude_magnitude is not null and address_altitude_units is not null))
