Illustrative FHIR Location mapping

How one record can be normalized.

Illustrative mapping
{
  "resourceType": "Location",
  "id": "hpsa-1234567890",
  "_source": "hrsa-hpsa-shortage-areas",
  "_methodology": "hrsa-hpsa/v1",
  "name": "Example County Primary Care HPSA",
  "extension": [{ "url": "hpsaScore", "valueInteger": 18 }]
}

This example documents a normalized shape; it does not establish that a FHIR endpoint or bulk export is available for this catalog entry. When a record includes _source, _methodology, snapshot-date, or confidence fields, those fields are nullable and delivery surfaces can return different subsets. Published bulk files are listed separately in the bulk manifest.

Fields in this record

What each field in the illustrative Location mapping means.

The fields below are derived from the displayed illustrative FHIR Location mapping. When a record includes source-metadata fields (_source, _methodology, and a snapshot date), they describe that delivered record. Those fields are nullable and may be absent from a response; identity fields key the record and data fields carry the measured values.

Integrated, with-data, and fresh-observation counts are separate. No platform-wide source-completeness count is published. Completeness is source-specific and must be evaluated against the named source's expected scope. State coverage is a separate jurisdiction measure.

Source authority is record-specific

Use the issuer named on the record.

Fonteum spans federal, state, and global public publishers. A source page or returned record identifies its issuer and dataset where that metadata is available. A platform registry count does not assign every page to one authority or establish loaded, fresh, or complete coverage.

Reproducible by design

Inspect the evidence each published figure actually supplies.

Source and date

Research pages expose the named public file and observation date where those fields are available. Source-file SHA-256 coverage is separate; facts do not currently link deterministically to signatures.

Available derivation

Studies with a retained release and committed derivation link the SQL or method used. Other studies state the evidence and reproduction limits they actually have.

Daily observations

Dated table row-count observations can detect local drift. They do not imply that an upstream publisher released or Fonteum ingested new data that day.
