Resource Profile: NL Generic Functions Location Profile ( Experimental )

Official URL: http://fhir.generiekefuncties.nl/StructureDefinition/nl-gf-location Version: 26.0.0
Active as of 2026-10-30 Computable Name: NlGfLocation

Location profile based on NL Core Location and aligned with IHE mCSD Location constraints, with a required custodian-assigned identifier. The parent Nictiz NL Core profile does not currently resolve reliably in all tooling; when needed, inspect it manually via Simplifier, for example through https://simplifier.net/nictiz-r4-zib2020.
