[1..1] [M] classCode (CS { CNE: RoleClass } )
{ Fixed="ASSIGNED" }

[0..1] addr (AD)

Model Attribute Description

The HL7 attribute addr provides an address associated with the team or workgroup. This is a physical location rather than a routing address.

The HL7 attribute addr allows structured and unstructured addresses to be carried in an instance. Only structured addresses are recommended to be used. There are a number of structured forms of addresses. The three shown here are the recommended formats for organisation addresses, they are listed in no particular order.

Implementation in XML Instance

When the structured address in the style of PDS is used then it shall contain five XML elements streetAddressLine.

  • The first XML element streetAddressLine should contain the premises name
  • The second XML element streetAddressLine should contain the number and thoroughfare
  • The third XML element streetAddressLine should contain the locality
  • The fourth XML element streetAddressLine should contain the post town
  • The fifth XML element streetAddressLine should contain the county

The first XML element streetAddressLine or second XML element streetAddressLine and the fourth XML element streetAddressLine are mandated to be populated.

  • The XML element postalCode may be used to carry a postcode
  • The XML element addressKey may be used to carry a PAF key

or the address may use the fully structured address:

  • The XML element houseNumber should contain the house/building number or name
  • The XML element streetName should contain contains the street name
  • The XML element city should contain the city name
  • The XML element county should contain the county
  • The XML element country should contain the country name
  • The XML element postalCode should contain the post code
  • The XML element addressKey should contain the address key

Alternatively the structured address may contain just a series of XML elements streetAddressLine populated in the correct order to render as a postal address with as much information as available included.

  • The first XML element streetAddressLine contains the first address line
  • The second XML element streetAddressLine contains the second address line
  • The third XML element streetAddressLine contains the third address line
  • and so on ....

The XML element addr allows an XML attribute use, this should be used to further define the organisation address when required. Only the use values listed below are recommended to be used for organisation addresses.

Code
Definition
WP Work place - An office address. First choice for business related contacts during business hours.
TMP Temporary address - May be good for visit or mailing.

[1..1] [R] recipientRoleCode (CV { CWE:WorkgroupRoleName } )

Model Attribute Description

The HL7 attribute recipientRoleCode uses the workgroup name to identify a workgroup or team by name.

The vocabulary used is a default one which contains no values and its only purpose is to allow the XML attribute displayName to carry the name of the workgroup or team. Where an alternative vocabulary is available this may be used.

Implementation in XML Instance

When an alternative vocabulary is available then:

  • The XML attribute code shall contain a code from the vocabulary
  • The XML attribute codeSystem shall contain the OID for the vocabulary
  • The XML attribute displayName shall carry the name associated with the code.

When no workgroup name is available then:

The XML attribute nullFlavor of the XML element recipientRoleCode shall contain the value "NI".

Note: If XML element recipientRoleCode uses a nullFlavor then the XML element id shall not.
[0..*] telecom (SET<TEL>)

Model Attribute Description
