Adult Social Care Digital Social Care Record: Minimum Operational Data Standard (MODS)Location

A physical LOCATION.

This could be: where a SUBJECT OF CARE is seen where SERVICES exist from which requests for ACTIVITIES are sent or any other place of interest to an ORGANISATION which is not recorded as an ORGANISATION or an ORGANISATION_SITE. For ACTIVITIES provided by staff groups, LOCATIONS are places where a face-to-face contact or a Group_Session occurs.

For diagnostic ACTIVITIES, LOCATIONS either define the whereabouts of the ACTIVITY or the places from which requests are sent.

Each LOCATION must be classified by one and only one type of LOCATION and the same classification must be used by all users.
