Scheduling Patient Devices: Publication of Operation Definition based on FHIR
Schedule patient devices - eHealth Infrastructure v6.0.1 - Sundhed.dk
Summary
The eHealth Infrastructure in Denmark has published an operation definition called 'Schedule patient devices' to consolidate information regarding patients' medical devices. This standardizes device usage and metrics based on the EpisodeOfCare, including periods of use and associated care plans.
Details
This document is the operational definition (OperationDefinition) for 'Schedule patient devices,' built upon FHIR R4, providing specifications for structuring information related to patient medical device utilization. The report includes not only Device information linked to a specific EpisodeOfCare but also DeviceUseStatement showing device usage and DeviceMetric containing measured biometric data. Key features include filtering by organization or period. Technically, it utilizes FHIR resource extensions—such as ehealth-episodeofcare and ehealth-deviceusestatement local profiles—to comprehensively manage device utilization history. This mechanism is crucial for enhancing the standardization and interoperability of medical device data.
