Scope of coverage

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. The device use request may represent an order or a prescription that was 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.

The SupplyRequest resource is used to request devices when handling them generically (as any other supply) rather than being associated with a patient or having patient specific instructions. When requests are for things associated with a patient, then use DeviceUseRequest.

For requesting medications use the MedicationRequest resource.
