Location Resource

Introduction

This page documents the implementation of the FHIR Location resource for the OpenMRS FHIR Module.

Location Resource provides information for a physical place where services are provided and resources and participants may be stored, found, contained or accommodated. For more information, please refer http://hl7-fhir.github.io/location.html

Shown below is an example of how an OpenMRS Location objects would map to FHIR Location resource, as proposed by Grahame Grieve.

The left side of the relationship indicates the OpenMRS attribute, while the right indicated the FHIR resource mapping.

Location

Integer uuid :: n/a - goes in the URL e.g. [base]/Location/[locationId]
String name :: Location.name
String description :: Location.description
String address1 :: Address.line
String address2 :: Address.line
String cityVillage :: Address.city
String stateProvince :: Address.state
String country :: Address.country
String postalCode ::Address.zip
String latitude :: Location.position.longitude
String longitude :: Location.position.latitude
String countyDistrict :: not mapped
String address3 :: Address.line
String address4 :: Address.line
String address6 :: Address.line
String address5 :: Address.line
Location parentLocation :: Location.partOf
Set<Location> childLocations :: not mapped

Shown below is a sample FHIR Location Resource.
