Scope of coverage
Resource covers contact details and position information for a physical place that may be visited and where healthcare resources and participants may be found or contained, accomodated, or stored. A Location includes both incidental locations (a place at which is used without prior designation or authorization) and dedicated, formally appointed locations. Examples of use for Location are:
- A hospital building, clinic or GP's office, a home
- A ward, corridor, bedroom, emergency room or operation room
- A freezer or cabinet
- An ambulance, personal car or roadside location
RIM scope

Almost all organizations of any size need to keep track of the locations used for healthcare, to keep track of where patients, devices and materials are located. This information goes beyond a simple name, to include contact details and spatial containment.
Expected implementations
Present in CCDA.
Content sources
None beyond the standard list
