      Two standard extensions will be added to Location to represent the communication modes available, and the characteristics of the location (e.g. wheelchair accessible).

       

      These extensions will mimic the properties on HealthcareService: 

      HealthcareService.characteristic

      HealthcareService.communication

       

      We considered adding properties similar to the patient-proficiency extension, but opted not to, as that level of information is likely not applicable for the location level.

    Description

      In working on a provider directory use case it revealed the need to record what languages are spoken at a location.  This would be a characteristic of the location.
