Location Resource

Introduction

This page documents the implementation of the FHIR Location resource (DSTU2) for the OpenMRS FHIR Module.
The FHIR 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 on the FHIR Location resource, please refer http://hl7-fhir.github.io/location.html

Populating the FHIR Location Resource

Shown below is how attributes of the FHIR Location Resource map to the attributes of the OpenMRS Location object. The left side of the relationship indicates the OpenMRS attribute; the right indicates the FHIR Location 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
