description | 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. 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. | Indicates the location where the care was provided | Values Differ
