1.1      Birth Facility Name

SUMMARY

Question

How will we support the recording of the name of the birth facility

 

Description / Context

The nationally harmonised child health data calls for the name of the birth facility.

Currently the AU base patient profile supports recording a birth address however the address type does not have a spot for facility / location name

Notes / Description

Create a location resource profile to support and reference from the birth interaction

Base Resource / Profile

  • Composition / ?
  • Location / ?

Pros

 

Cons

  • We would be required to look up the birth facility in the context of the birth, not the patient. As we are using composition to provide the birth context this would rely on composition.
