We maintained certain terms to avoid any effect on customer implementations. ## FHIR V4​.0 - Clinical Data Model Mapping Here’s how the fields defined by FHIR for [Location](https://www.hl7.org/fhir/location.html) map to the fields in the Salesforce​.
Table 1. Location - Salesforce
Location Resource Salesforce Field Type Salesforce Cardinality Notes
identifier Identifier Object 0​.M The identifier information for a facility is represented as Identifier records that reference the facility record using their Identifier​.Parent​RecordId field​.
status Account​.IsActive Boolean 0​.1 While FHIR defines location​.status as a code, the salesforce implementation is a boolean field in the referenced account record​.
operational​Status N/A N/A N/A Not supported
name Healthcare​Facility​.Name String 0​.1 N/A
alias N/A N/A N/A Not supported
description Location​.Description String 0​.1 N/A
mode N/A N/A N/A Not supported
type Healthcare​Facility​.​Facility​TypeId Lookup: CodeSet​Bundle 0​.1 While FHIR defines location​.type as a zero-to-many resource, Salesforce implements Healthcare​Facility​.​Facility​TypeId as a zero-to-one field​.
telecom Contact​Point​Phone Object 0​.M The telecom information of the facility is stored as Contact​Point​Phone records that reference the account referenced by the facility record​.
address Contact​Point​Address Object 0​.M The address information of the facility is stored as Contact​Point​Address records that reference the account referenced by the facility record​.
physical​Type Healthcare​Facility​.Location​Type Picklist 0​.1 While FHIR defines location​.physical​Type as a code set bundle, Salesforce implements Healthcare​Facility​.Location​Type as a picklist​.
position Location​.Location Geolocation 0​.1

The location​.position FHIR resource is mapped to the Location​.Location salesforce field​. This location (Salesforce object) record is referenced by the healthcare facility record using its Healthcare​Facility​.LocationId lookup field​.

position​.altitude is not supported in Location​.Location​.

managing​Organization Account​Account​Relation__c Junction Object 0​.1 The junction object that connects the facility account with the parent organization’s business account​.
partOf Healthcare​Facility​.Parent​FacilityId Lookup: Healthcare​Facility 0​.1 N/A
hoursOf​Operation​.daysOf​Week ​TimeSlot​.DayOf​Week Picklist 0​.1

While FHIR defines location​.hoursOf​Operation​.daysOf​Week as a code set bundle, Salesforce implementation is a picklist​.

While the ​TimeSlot​.DayOf​Week field is a zero-to-one field, multiple time slot records can reference the same operating hours record, thereby supporting a zero-to-many reference for location​.hoursOf​Operation​.daysOf​Week in the Salesforce implementation​.

The time slot record references the operating hours record using its ​TimeSlot​.Operating​HoursId master-detail reference field​. This operating hours record is referenced by the facility’s account record using its Account​.Operating​HoursId lookup field​. And finally, this account record is referenced by the facility record using its Healthcare​Facility​.AccountId master-detail reference field​.
hoursOf​Operation​.allDay N/A N/A N/A Not supported
hoursOf​Operation​.opening​​Time ​TimeSlot​.Start​​Time ​Time 0​.1

The time slot record references the operating hours record using its ​TimeSlot​.Operating​HoursId master-detail reference field​. This operating hours record is referenced by the facility’s account record using its Account​.Operating​HoursId lookup field​. And finally, this account record is referenced by the facility record using its Healthcare​Facility​.AccountId master-detail reference field​.
hoursOf​Operation​.closing​Time ​TimeSlot​.​End​Time ​Time 0​.1

The time slot record references the operating hours record using its ​TimeSlot​.Operating​HoursId master-detail reference field​. This operating hours record is referenced by the facility’s account record using its Account​.Operating​HoursId lookup field​. And finally, this account record is referenced by the facility record using its Healthcare​Facility​.AccountId master-detail reference field​.
availability​Exceptions Healthcare​Facility​.Availability​Exceptions String 0​.1 N/A
end​Point N/A N/A N/A Not supported
