DeviceChannel FHIR Profile Proposal

DeviceChannel

Profile Details

Parent Resource

• DeviceComponent

Constraints to be Applied

• parent = Resource(VirtualMedicalDevice)

Extensions to be Applied

• None

Example Scenarios

• A primary channel from an infusion pump containment tree.

Scope of coverage

The DeviceChannel profile describes the characteristics, operational status and capabilities of a non-physical component that allows physiological measurement data and its derived data to be grouped in a hierarchical information organization.

Note:

For the initial scope, this DeviceChannel profile is only applicable to describe a single Channel node represents in the containment tree that is produced by the context scanner in any medical device that implements or derives from the ISO/IEEE 11073 standard.
