description: This profile sets minimum expectations for the Location resource for recording, searching for and fetching a Location associated with a patient, provider or organization to promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation.  It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets **SHALL** be present and constrains the way the elements are used when using the profile.  It provides the floor for standards development for specific use cases.
