## EHDSLocation to FHIR Location Mapping

EHDSLocation → LocationEuCore
Ongoing alignment: The Xt-EHR logical models are under active revision and continuous refinement. Updates from Xt-EHR will be progressively incorporated into this Implementation Guide to maintain alignment with the evolving EHDS specifications.
Yellow row/cells: In this ballot publication, some row/cells of the mapping table have been left in yellow to indicate areas requiring further review or refinement; including feedback from the Xt-EHR joint action (see note above). These highlights will be addressed in subsequent updates to ensure accuracy and completeness of the mappings.

### EHDSLocation → LocationEuCore

This page explains how conceptual elements from the EHDS logical model are expressed in the corresponding FHIR LocationEuCore profile used by this Implementation Guide.

Mapping Context

- Source logical model: EHDSLocation
- Target FHIR profile: LocationEuCore

LocationEuCore represents physical service delivery sites and care locations.

EHDSLocation → LocationEuCore
EHDSLocation (Logical Model) | Relationship | LocationEuCore
--- | --- | ---
Element | Description | Relation | Resource | Element | Description | Notes
identifier | Identifier for the location. | equivalent | Location | identifier | Unique code or number identifying the location. |
name | Human-readable name of the location. | equivalent | Location | name | Location name. |
description | Textual description of the location and its purpose. | equivalent | Location | description | Description of the location. |
type | Type/category of the location (e.g. ward, lab, pharmacy counter). | equivalent | Location | physicalType〔R4〕 | Type of location. | In R4, physicalType is common; R5 shifts emphasis to type.
type | Type/category of the location (e.g. ward, lab, pharmacy counter). | equivalent | Location | type〔R5〕 | Type of location. | In R4, physicalType is common; R5 shifts emphasis to type.
address | Physical postal address of the location. | equivalent | Location | address | Address of the location. | Uses Address/AddressEu.
managingOrganisation | Organisation responsible for the services provided at this location. | equivalent | Location | managingOrganization | Managing organization. | Reference to OrganizationEuCore.
