Address

The Address FHIR resource maps to the Contact​Point​Address​ 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.

Table 1. Address - Salesforce
Address Resource Salesforce Field Type Salesforce Cardinality Notes
use Contact​Point​Address​.Usage​Type Picklist 0.1 FHIR defines Contact​Point​Address​.use as a code set. However, the Salesforce implementation of Contact​Point​Address​.Content​Type is a picklist.
type N/A N/A N/A Not supported
text N/A N/A N/A Not supported
line Contact​Point​Address​.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 Contact​Point​Address​.City String 0.1 N/A
district N/A N/A N/A Not supported
state Contact​Point​Address​.State String 0.1 N/A
postal​Code Contact​Point​Address​.Postal​Code String 0.1 N/A
country Contact​Point​Address​.Country String 0.1 N/A
period Contact​Point​Address​.Active​From​Date 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.
Contact​Point​Address​.Active​To​Date Date 0.1
