Add Ward/Bed/Room to ServiceDeliveryLocationRoleType

ServiceDeliveryLocation

The concept domain can be found here: http://www.hl7.org/v3ballot/html/infrastructure/vocabulary/vs_RoleCode.htm#ServiceDeliveryLocationRoleType , where we want to add new concept codes to the DedicatedServiceDeliveryLocationRoleType value set:

1. "Healthcare Bed": the usage of a bed as a practice setting where diagnostic procedures or therapeutic interventions are performed. This includes concepts such as gurneys in the hallway to acute critical care beds, and bassinets in nurseries.
2. "Healthcare Room": the usage of a room as a practice setting where diagnostic procedures or therapeutic interventions are performed
3. "Healthcare Unit": the usage of a unit as a practice setting where diagnostic procedures or therapeutic interventions are performed. This includes the concept of ward.

NOTE - the following coded concept already exists in the value set

• DX "Diagnostics or therapeutics unit" - A practice setting where diagnostic procedures or therapeutic interventions are performed

Place

The value set PlaceEntityType has the following codes:

• BED Bed Location The location of a bed
• BLDG Building Location The location of a building
• FLOOR Floor Location The location of a floor of a building
• ROOM Room Location The location of a room
• WING Wing Location The location of a wing of a building (e.g. East Wing). The same room number for the same floor number can be distinguished by wing number in some situations

Note: WARD probably has to be added to this value set. Native English speakers will have to assist in describing the nuances of Ward versus Wing/Room.
