This component contains the street name, street number, floor and/or door number or additonal information (e.g. street direction, P.O. Box number, delivery hints, and similar address information). This information can be split into structured values in the line-components each defined by international ISO extensions. If these extensions are used then the information they contain has to be written in a concatenated way in the line element itself as well. This makes the usage easier for systems which don't use address data in a structured way.

Name of the street without the street number

Number of the street without the street name

Floor and/or door number

Additional information about the street address

An address expressed using postal conventions (as opposed to GPS or other location definition formats). This data type may be used to convey addresses for use in delivering mail as well as for visiting locations which might not be valid for mail delivery. There are a variety of postal address formats defined around the world. The ISO21090-codedString may be used to provide a coded representation of the contents of strings in an Address.

Note: address is intended to describe postal addresses for administrative purposes, not to describe absolute geographical coordinates. Postal addresses are often used as proxies for physical locations (also see the Location resource).

HL7® Austria FHIR® Core Extension for the municipality code part of the Austrian address

The purpose of this address.

Applications can assume that an address is current unless it explicitly says that it is temporary or old.

The use of an address (home / work / etc.).

Allows an appropriate address to be chosen from a list of many.

The name of the administrative area (county).

Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and managable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

HL7® Austria FHIR® Core Extension for the municipality code part of the Austrian address

The purpose of this address.

Applications can assume that an address is current unless it explicitly says that it is temporary or old.

The use of an address (home / work / etc.).

Allows an appropriate address to be chosen from a list of many.

Distinguishes between physical addresses (those you can visit) and mailing addresses (e.g. PO Boxes and care-of addresses). Most addresses are both.

The definition of Address states that "address is intended to describe postal addresses, not physical locations". However, many applications track whether an address has a dual purpose of being a location that can be visited as well as being a valid delivery destination, and Postal addresses are often used as proxies for physical locations (also see the Location resource).

The type of an address (physical / postal).

Specifies the entire address as it should be displayed e.g. on a postal label. This may be provided instead of or as well as the specific parts.

Can provide both a text representation and parts. Applications updating an address SHALL ensure that when both text and parts are present, no content is included in the text that isn't found in a part.

A renderable, unencoded form.

The name of the city, town, suburb, village or other community or delivery center.

The name of the administrative area (county).

Sub-unit of a country with limited sovereignty in a federally organized country. A code may be used if codes are in common use (e.g. US 2 letter state codes).

A postal code designating a region defined by the postal service.

Country - a nation as commonly understood or generally accepted.

ISO 3166 2- or 3- letter codes MAY be used in place of a human readable country name.
