hi
I need to provide the city long/lat/alt where the patient is living. There is also the same information at country/city and address level. Is there any possibility to make the country, address, city Address's elements be location or something more structured thant a string ? Thanks

From Extension documentation:
Elements that are data types, or that are inside data types SHALL NOT have modifier extensions, and extensions SHALL NOT have modifier extensions internally.
Then right now the only workaround I have is to add the coordinate information within the string such:
Paris [1,20,80]

There is an extension you can use on the patient address for this
http://hl7.org/fhir/extension-geolocation.html

thanks for the pointer. Would that be a correct implementation of the extension ?
{
"resourceType": "Patient",
"address": [
{
"extension": [
{
"url": "http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/geolocation#latitude",
"valueDecimal": 1.1
},
{
"url": "http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/geolocation#longitude",
"valueDecimal": 1.1
}
],
"city": "Paris"
}
]
}

I guess this is better: (from the documentatioin https://www.hl7.org/fhir/extensibility.html#extension
and HAPI FHIR implementation (tested) http://hapifhir.io/doc_extensions.html
"address": [
{
"extension": [
{
"url": "http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/geolocation",
"extension": [
{
"url": "latitude",
"valueDecimal": 1.1
},
{
"url": "longitude",
"valueDecimal": 1.1
}
]
}
],
"city": "Paris"
}

The second one looks right
natus (Sep 16 2018 at 21:53):
thanks Lloyd. BTW I have been able to implement the second with hapi fhir.
