Address
The Address FHIR resource maps to the ContactPointAddress object in Salesforce.
FHIR V4.0 - Clinical Data Model Mapping
Here’s how the fields defined by FHIR for Address map to the fields in Salesforce.
| Address Resource | Salesforce Field | Type | Salesforce Cardinality | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| use | ContactPointAddress.UsageType | Picklist | 0.1 | FHIR defines ContactPointAddress.use as a code set. However, the Salesforce implementation of ContactPointAddress.ContentType is a picklist. |
| type | N/A | N/A | N/A | Not supported |
| text | N/A | N/A | N/A | Not supported |
| line | ContactPointAddress.Street | String | 0.1 | While FHIR defines address.line as zero-many, Salesforce supports only one string for each record. If you have multiple lines, it’s recommended to merge them into a single string before passing it to Salesforce. |
| city | ContactPointAddress.City | String | 0.1 | N/A |
| district | N/A | N/A | N/A | Not supported |
| state | ContactPointAddress.State | String | 0.1 | N/A |
| postalCode | ContactPointAddress.PostalCode | String | 0.1 | N/A |
| country | ContactPointAddress.Country | String | 0.1 | N/A |
| period | ContactPointAddress.ActiveFromDate | Date | 0.1 | Because Salesforce doesn’t support a native period data type, the Salesforce implementation flattens address.period to a set of from and to dates. |
| ContactPointAddress.ActiveToDate | Date | 0.1 |
