      A new extension will be created to indicate the 

      subject-locationClassification  0..1 CodeableConcept (example) (to VS below)

      This would be allowed for both Encounter.location and EncounterHistory.location

      This will have an example value set of:

      • assigned - the patient is administrative assigned to the location.  This usually means that the assigned location is responsible for the patient's overall care.
      • temporary - the patient is temporarily in a location.  For example, they may be assigned to an inpatient bed, but is temporarily in the dialysis department receiving dialysis.
      • transient - the geospatial area where the patient is known to be physically present.  This area is not necessarily part of the administrative location structure.  For example, the patient is in a visiting room, or in the hallway near the vending machine.

    Description

      As part of the v2-to-FHIR project, we have mapped the PV1 segment to the Encounter resource (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Sqt8f_LpBVMIdJxcAlB4emDOBqXV8rhy60V2_yaDp7c/edit#gid=0). PV1-11 is the Temporary Location and PV1-43 is the Prior Temporary Location. We can map these to Encounter.location but there is currently no way to flag these as temporary locations. We are suggesting an extension for .location with a Boolean data type to indicate if the location is temporary (true) or not (false).
