1.0 - StructureDefinition: vhdir-location - Content

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

Background & Scope

A location is the physical place where healthcare services are provided, practitioners are employed, organizations are based, etc. Locations can range in scope from a room in a building to a geographic region/area.

This profile removes location.operationalStatus because maintaining bed-level information is out of scope for this implementation guide. It also removes location.mode because maintaining information about kinds of locations (as opposed to actual location instances) is out of scope for this implementation guide.

This profile also adds a number of optional extensions, including extensions for representing a geographic region/area, accessibility options at the location, the EHR product(s) in use at the location, whether the location is accepting new patients, and when the location is available.

Examples:

The following are example uses for the vhdir-location profile:

Mandatory Data Elements

There are no mandatory attributes for the healthcareService resource. However, some attributes have mandatory components if they are included in the resource (including extensions). These are presented below in a simple human-readable explanation. The Formal Profile Definition below provides the formal summary, definitions, and terminology requirements.

If the location has a defined position, one value representing longitude in location.position.longitude and one value representing latitude in location.position.latitude
If the location has a geographic region/area, one URI to a KML or GeoJSON object defining the region/area in location.boundary.region (extension)
For each accessibility option offered by the location, one type in location.accessibility.type (extension)
For each indication of whether the location is accepting new patients, one boolean value in location.newPatients.acceptingPatients (extension)
For each indication that the location is not available, a description of why the location is unavailable in location.notAvailable.description (extension)

Profile specific implementation guidance:

Extensions:

Restriction (0..*) - indicates restrictions on the use/release of information associated with the location
Boundary (0..*) - indicates a region/area for the location, consisting of:
1. Region (1..1) - a URI to a KML or GeoJSON object defining the region/area
2. LocalName (0..*) - a friendly description of the region/area (such as the colloquial name of the region)
Accessibility (0..*) - indicates accessibility options available at the location (e.g. handicap accessibility), consisting of:
1. Type (1..1) - indicates the type of accessibility option offered at the location
2. Description (0..1) - additional descriptive information about the accessibility option
EHR (0..*) - provides information about the EHR product(s) used at the location, consisting of:
1. Developer (0..1) - the developer of the EHR product
2. Product (0..1) - the name of the EHR product
3. Version (0..1) - the version of the EHR product
4. CertificationID (0..1) - a unique ID assigned by the ONC-Authorized Certification Body
5. CertificationEdition (0..1) - indicates which certification edition the EHR product has been certified to
6. PatientAccess (0..*) - indicates whether the EHR product provides patient access functions (e.g. a patient portal)
NewPatients (0..*) - indicates whether the location is accepting new patients, consisting of:
1. AcceptingPatients (1.1) - a value of ‘true’ means the location is accepting new patients, ‘false’ means it is not
2. Network (0..1) - indicates whether the location is accepting new patients for a particular health provider insurance network
NewPatientProfile (0..1) - a description of the type of patients the location accepts (e.g. pediatric only)
AvailableTime (0..*) - indicates when the location is available, consisting of:
1. DaysOfWeek (0..*) - indicates the days the location is available
2. AllDay (0..1) - indicates whether the location is always available
3. AvailableStartTime (0..1) - indicates when the location opens
4. AvailableEndTime (0..1) - indicates when the location closes
NotAvailable (0..*) - indicates when the location is not available
1. Description (1..1) - describes why the location is not available
2. During (0..1) - indicates a period of time for when the location is not available
AvailabilityExceptions (0..1) - indicates any exceptions to the availablity of the location
