Resource Profile: Location - Death

This Location records the location of death. It is based on US Core Location and further constrains the type element location of death. The MDI Location - Death artifact overlaps with the VRDR Death Location artifact.

Usage:

• Refer to this Resource Profile: Composition - MDI and EDRS
• Examples for this Resource Profile: Atlanta GA Death Location - Freeman, Lake Death Location - Lat/Long and Atlanta GA Death Location - Freeman (address string)
