Organization

The Organization FHIR resource maps primarily to the Account object in Salesforce.

FHIR V4.0 - Clinical Data Model Mapping

Here’s how the fields defined by FHIR for Organization map to the fields in Salesforce.

Table 1. Organization - Salesforce
Organization Resource	Salesforce Field	Type	Salesforce Cardinality	Notes
`identifier`	`Identifier`	Object	0.M	The identifier information for an organization is represented as `Identifier` records that reference the organization record using their `Identifier.ParentRecordId` field.
`active`	`Account.IsActive`	Boolean	0.1	N/A
type	`Account.Type`	Picklist	0.1	While FHIR defines `account.type` as a zero-to-many code set bundle reference, its Salesforce implementation is a zero-to-one picklist.
`name`	`Account.Name`	String	0.1	N/A
`alias`	N/A	N/A	N/A	Not supported
`telecom`	`ContactPointPhone`	Object	0.M	The telecom information for an organization is represented as `ContactPointPhone` records that reference the organization record using their `ContactPointPhone.ParentId` field.
`address`	`ContactPointAddress`	Object	0.M	The address information for an organization is represented as `ContactPointAddress` records that reference the organization record using their `ContactPoint��Address.ParentId` field.
`contact`	`AccountContactRelation.ContactId`	Lookup: `Contact`	0.M	Contacts are connected to organizations using the `AccountContactRelation` junction object. The `AccountContactRelation.AccountId` field references the organization’s account record, and the `AccountContactRelation.ContactId` field references the contact record of the contact’s person account.
`contact.relationship`	`AccountContactRelation.Roles`	Multi-Select picklist	0.M	While FHIR defines `organization.contact.purpose` as a code set bundle, its Salesforce implementation is a picklist.
`contact.name`	`PersonName`	Object	0.M	The name information for a contact is represented as `PersonName` records that reference the contact’s person account using their `PersonName.ParentRecordId` field. While FHIR defines `patient.contact.name` as a zero-to-one resource, the Salesforce implementation can support zero-to-many references.
`contact.telecom`	`ContactPointPhone`	Object	0.M	The telecom information for a contact is represented as `ContactPointPhone` records that reference the contact’s person account record using their `ContactPointPhone.ParentId` field.
`contact.address`	`ContactPointAddress`	Object	0.M	The address information for a contact is represented as `ContactPointAddress` records that reference the contact’s person account record using their `ContactPointAddress.ParentId` field. While FHIR defines `patient.contact.address` as a zero-to-one resource, the Salesforce implementation can support zero-to-many references.
`contact.endPoint`	N/A	N/A	N/A	Not supported
