The Organization resource is a recognized grouping (formal or informal) of people or organizations formed for the purpose of achieving some form of collective action. The resource includes companies, institutions, corporations, departments, community groups, healthcare practice groups, payer/insurer, and more.
This resource can be used in a shared contact registry and other information for various organizations, or it can be used merely as a support for other resources that need to reference organizations. If you use this resource as a registry, it’s possible for multiple registries to exist, each dealing with different types or levels of organization.
The Organization resource is not the same as the Group resource. The Organization resource is used for collections of people who have come together to achieve an objective. The Group resource is used to identify a collection of people (or animals, devices, etc.) that are gathered for the purpose of analysis or acting upon, but are not expected to act themselves.
The Organization resource often exists as a hierarchy of other organization resources, using the part-of property to provide the association of the child to its parent organization. This organizational hierarchy helps communicate a conceptual structure, where the Location resource provides the physical representation of the hierarchy.
The Organization resource is referenced by these resources:

Use Postman to test Opala's Patient Access API by querying the API and returning the results. The Opala Collection is a group of API requests that are already saved in the Postman app and arranged in folders. You can access Opala's Patient Access Sandbox and, if you have the correct credentials, the production environment as well. For more information see Setting Up Postman in this documentation set.
The Organization resource encompasses companies, institutions, corporations, departments, community groups, healthcare practice groups, payer/insurer, etc. In other words, any grouping of people or organizatons (whether formal or informal) created to achieve some kind of collective action.

Note: When searching by Zip Code, Opala recommends you do not use the Zip+4 format. Adding the +4 notation narrows the search to such an extent that the information retieved could be unhelpful. For example, an organization that exists in the 98028 Zip Code but not in the 98028-9998 area, would not be found if the search was for 98028-9998.
