HL7 Europe Base and Core FHIR IG - Local Development build (v0.1.0-snapshot) built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) Build Tools. See the Directory of published versions

## Data Type Profile: Address (EU)

Official URL: http://hl7.eu/fhir/base-r5/StructureDefinition/Address-eu | Version: 0.1.0-snapshot
Standards status: Draft | Maturity Level: 2 | Computable Name: AddressEu
Copyright/Legal: Copyright HL7 Europe. Licensed under creative commons public domain (CC0 1.0).

This profile extends the Address data type for supporting streetname, housenumber and postal box.

### Address extensions

The Address extensions provide additional information about a patient's address, as the fact that it is an official address, or more structured information about the address itself.

This profile doesn't explicitly list all of them, but only those that are explicitly listed in the EHDS Address model.

Examples of extensions not included, but used in several jurisdictions are:

- ADXPBuildingNumberSuffix
- ADXPAdditionalLocator
- ADXPUnitID

Implementers should refer to the HL7 FHIR specification for guidance on the use of these extensions.

Please note that the fact they are not included in the differential doesn't preclude their use in a compliant instance.

Usages:

- Use this DataType Profile: Location (EU base), Organization (EU base), Patient (EU base) and Practitioner (EU base)

You can also check for usages in the FHIR IG Statistics
