DeviceMetricObservation FHIR Profile Proposal

DeviceMetricObservation

Profile Details

Parent Resource

• Observation

Constraints to be Applied

• performer = Resource(Device)
• subject = Resource(Device| Patient)
• method = Measure mode ValueSet
• applied[x] = DateTime
• Remove encounter

Extensions to be Applied

• relatedDeviceMetric = Resource(DeviceMetric) [1..1]

Example Scenarios

• An observation of diastolic blood pressure indicates 60 mmHg.
• An observation of systolic blood pressure indicates 111 mmHg.
• A ventilation mode setting value from a ventilator.

Scope of coverage

The DeviceMetricObservation profile describes the direct or derived, qualitative or quantitative physiological measurement, setting, or calculation data produced by a medical device or a device component.

Note:

For the initial scope, this DeviceMetricObservation profile is only applicable to describe a measurement that is produced by any medical device that implements or derives from the ISO/IEEE 11073 standard.

Expected implementations

• Center for Medical Interoperability will be in collaboration with Dräger Medical to work on the profile definition for DeviceMetricObservation.
• Other Enterprise systems (such as EHR, PHR, or EMR) might be interested in consuming DeviceMetricObservation data for their data analytic module.
