Summary

This document provides the structure and detailed specification for the FHIR resource, 'DeviceUseStatement,' used to record the usage status of medical devices. This resource helps track which patient used a device, when, and for what purpose.

Details

The provided content is a resource definition based on the HL7 FHIR standard, detailing the concept of 'Declaración de uso del dispositivo' (Device Use Statement). This structure (`DeviceUseStatement`) is designed to record the fact that a medical device was used by a patient. The key elements include specifying which patient (`subject`) used the device, when (`recordedOn`), what device (`device`), and including details about the reason for use (`reasonCode` or `reasonReference`). It also includes metadata such as the entity that created the statement (`source`) and the timing of the recording (`timing`). This specification is crucial for standardizing device usage history in clinical settings, enabling information exchange between electronic health record systems. As a FHIR structure definition, it serves as an important guideline for concrete implementation and interoperability validation.
