Definitions for the ch-core-address-ech-11-placeoforigin data type profile.
1. Address | |
Definition | An address expressed using postal conventions (as opposed to GPS or other location definition formats). This data type may be used to convey addresses for use in delivering mail as well as for visiting locations which might not be valid for mail delivery. There are a variety of postal address formats defined around the world. |
Control | 0..* This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1 |
Comments | Note: address is intended to describe postal addresses for administrative purposes, not to describe absolute geographical coordinates. Postal addresses are often used as proxies for physical locations (also see the Location resource). |
Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) |
2. Address.id | |
Definition | Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces. |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | string |
3. Address.extension | |
Definition | May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. |
Control | 0..* |
Type | Extension |
Alternate Names | extensions, user content |
Comments | There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone. |
Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (: extension.exists() != value.exists()) |
Slicing | This element introduces a set of slices on Address.extension. The slices are unordered and Open, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators:
|
4. Address.use | |
Definition | The purpose of this address. |
Control | 0..0 |
Binding | The codes SHALL be taken from AddressUse The use of an address. |
Type | code |
Is Modifier | true |
Requirements | Allows an appropriate address to be chosen from a list of many. |
Comments | Applications can assume that an address is current unless it explicitly says that it is temporary or old. |
Example | General:home |
Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) |
5. Address.type | |
Definition | Distinguishes between physical addresses (those you can visit) and mailing addresses (e.g. PO Boxes and care-of addresses). Most addresses are both. |
Control | 0..0 |
Binding | The codes SHALL be taken from AddressType The type of an address (physical / postal). |
Type | code |
Comments | The definition of Address states that "address is intended to describe postal addresses, not physical locations". However, many applications track whether an address has a dual purpose of being a location that can be visited as well as being a valid delivery destination, and Postal addresses are often used as proxies for physical locations (also see the Location resource). |
Example | General:both |
Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) |
6. Address.text | |
Definition | Specifies the entire address as it should be displayed e.g. on a postal label. This may be provided instead of or as well as the specific parts. |
Control | 0..0 |
Type | string |
Requirements | A renderable, unencoded form. |
Comments | Can provide both a text representation and parts. Applications updating an address SHALL ensure that when both text and parts are present, no content is included in the text that isn't found in a part. |
Example | General:137 Nowhere Street, Erewhon 9132 |
Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) |
7. Address.line | |
Definition | This component contains the house number, apartment number, street name, street direction, P.O. Box number, delivery hints, and similar address information. |
Control | 0..0 |
Type | string |
Example | General:137 Nowhere Street |
Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) |
8. Address.city | |
Definition | optional if country is not Switzerland |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | string |
Alternate Names | Municpality |
Example | General:Erewhon |
Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) |
9. Address.city.id | |
Definition | unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references) |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | string |
10. Address.city.extension | |
Definition | An Extension |
Control | 0..* |
Type | Extension |
Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (: extension.exists() != value.exists()) |
Slicing | This element introduces a set of slices on Address.city.extension. The slices are unordered and Open, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators:
|
11. Address.city.extension:bfs | |
SliceName | bfs |
Definition | Extension for eCH-0011 - bfs number (ministry of statistics number) |
Control | 0..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1 |
Type | Extension(ECH007MunicipalityId) (Extension Type: string) |
Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (: extension.exists() != value.exists()) |
12. Address.city.value | |
Definition | The actual value |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | string |
Max Length | 1048576 |
13. Address.district | |
Definition | The name of the administrative area (county). |
Control | 0..0 |
Type | string |
Alternate Names | County |
Comments | District is sometimes known as county, but in some regions 'county' is used in place of city (municipality), so county name should be conveyed in city instead. |
Example | General:Madison |
Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) |
14. Address.state | |

Control | 0..0 |
Type | string |
Alternate Names | Zip |
Example | General:9132 |
