12.24 Resource DeviceRequest - Content

Orders and Observations icon Work GroupMaturity Level: 1 Trial UseSecurity Category: Patient Compartments: Device, Encounter, Patient, Practitioner

Represents a request for a patient to employ a medical device. The device may be an implantable device, or an external assistive device, such as a walker.

12.24.1 Scope and Usage

This resource is a request resource from a FHIR workflow perspective - see Workflow.

This resource describes the request for the use of a device by a patient. The device may be any pertinent device specified in the Device resource. Examples of devices that may be requested include wheelchair, hearing aids, or an insulin pump. The request may lead to the delivery of the device to the patient directly, or to, e.g., a surgery suite for an implantation procedure.

The device use request may represent an order or a prescription entered by a practitioner in a CPOE system or a proposal made by a clinical decision support (CDS) system based on a patient's clinical record and context of care.

12.24.2 Boundaries and Relationships

This resource deals with the allocation of a device to a patient and while it may contain instructions on how to use the device, the data about getting the device to the patient is addressed in other resources. For example, when requesting an oxygen pump for home use instructions on how to use it may be included. For devices that must be implanted via a surgical or other procedure the implantation is represented in the Procedure resource.

VisionPrescription may appear to overlap with DeviceRequest, but not completely as there are specific vision lens specification details that are present in VisionPrescription. To illustrate this, the devicerequest-left-lens and devicerequest-right-lens examples are based on the general glasses example.

To determine the purchase date, a search of DeviceRequest, SupplyRequest, DeviceDispense, or SupplyDelivery as defined in an implementation guide can be done , as the context of the use case actually determines which date of either resource is considered the purchase date.

12.24.4.1 Terminology Bindings

PathValueSetTypeDocumentation
DeviceRequest.status RequestStatus Required

Codes identifying the lifecycle stage of a request.
DeviceRequest.intent RequestIntent Required

Codes indicating the degree of authority/intentionality associated with a request.
DeviceRequest.priority RequestPriority Required

Identifies the level of importance to be assigned to actioning the request.
DeviceRequest.code DeviceType Example

Codes used to identify medical devices. Includes concepts from SNOMED CT (http://www.snomed.org/) where concept is-a 49062001 (Device) and is provided as a suggestive example.
DeviceRequest.parameter.code ??Example
DeviceRequest.reason ConditionProblemDiagnosisCodes Example

Example value set for Condition/Problem/Diagnosis codes.

Notes to reviewers:

At this time, the code bindings are placeholders to be fleshed out upon further review by the community.
