1.0 StructureDefinition-au-location

AU Base Location [FMM 3]

This profile defines a location structure that localises core concepts, including identifiers and terminology, for use in an Australian context.

The purpose of this profile is to provide national level agreement on core localised concepts.

This profile does not force conformance to core localised concepts. It enables implementers and modellers to make their own rules, i.e. profiling, about how to support these concepts for specific implementation needs.

Identifiers

These definitions, defined as profiles of Identifier, represent common data held in the Location.identifier element:

Extensions

No extensions are used in this profile.

Usage Notes

An instantiation of Location may form part of defining a mobile or remotely delivered service. As part of defining a mobile service, Location should have:

  • mode=’kind’
  • type=’MOBL’

Additionally a Location for a mobile service should instantiate additional instances of type to indicate the service is tailored for delivery in these kinds of locations (e.g. ‘AMB’, ‘COMM’, ‘PTRES’, ‘SCHOOL’, or ‘WORK’).

As part of defining a remotely delivered service, Location should have:

  • mode=’kind’
  • type=’VI’
  • physicalType=’vi’

Examples

Downunder Hospital Blacktown, NSW

Site at 33 Slobodian Street, Albion, QLD

Level 1, Green Building, Albion Hospital, QLD

Family medicine clinic at Sandy Bay Road, Strahan, TAS

Location for services delivered by phone, video or online
