    identifier?: Identifier[]

    Organization.identifier Element

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: Identifies this organization across multiple systems
    • Definition: Identifier for the organization that is used to identify the organization across multiple disparate systems.
    • Requirements: Organizations are known by a variety of ids. Some institutions maintain several, and most collect identifiers for exchange with other organizations concerning the organization.
    • FHIR Type: Identifier

    active?: BooleanType

    Organization.active Element

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: Whether the organization's record is still in active use
    • Definition: Whether the organization's record is still in active use.
    • Comment: This active flag is not intended to be used to mark an organization as temporarily closed or under construction. Instead the Location(s) within the Organization should have the suspended status. If further details of the reason for the suspension are required, then an extension on this element should be used. This element is labeled as a modifier because it may be used to mark that the resource was created in error.
    • Requirements: Need a flag to indicate a record is no longer to be used and should generally be hidden for the user in the UI.
    • FHIR Type: boolean
    • Cardinality: 0..1
    • isModifier: true
    • isModifierReason: This element is labelled as a modifier because it is a status element that can indicate that a record should not be treated as valid
    • isSummary: true
    type_?: CodeableConcept[]

    Organization.type Element

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: Kind of organization
    • Definition: The kind(s) of organization that this is.
    • Comment: Organizations can be corporations, wards, sections, clinical teams, government departments, etc. Note that code is generally a classifier of the type of organization; in many applications, codes are used to identity a particular organization (say, ward) as opposed to another of the same type - these are identifiers, not codes When considering if multiple types are appropriate, you should evaluate if child organizations would be a more appropriate use of the concept, as different types likely are in different sub-areas of the organization. This is most likely to be used where type values have orthogonal values, such as a religious, academic and medical center. We expect that some jurisdictions will profile this optionality to be a single cardinality.
    • Requirements: Need to be able to track the kind of organization that this is - different organization types have different uses.
    • FHIR Type: CodeableConcept
    • Cardinality: 0..*
    • isModifier: false
    • isSummary: true
    name?: StringType

    FHIR Specification

    • Requirements: Need to use the name as the label of the organization.
    • FHIR Type: string
    • Cardinality: 0..1
    • isModifier: false
    • isSummary: true
    alias?: StringType[]

    Organization.alias Element

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: A list of alternate names that the organization is known as, or was known as in the past
    • Definition: A list of alternate names that the organization is known as, or was known as in the past.
    • Comment: There are no dates associated with the alias/historic names, as this is not intended to track when names were used, but to assist in searching so that older names can still result in identifying the organization.
    • Requirements: Over time locations and organizations go through many changes and can be known by different names. For searching knowing previous names that the organization was known by can be very useful.
    • FHIR Type: string

    telecom?: ContactPoint[]

    Organization.telecom Element
