Scope of coverage
DEFINITION (DEVICES): This resource identifies an instance of a manufactured thing that is used in the provision of healthcare without being substantially changed through that activity. The device may be a machine, an insert, a computer, an application, etc. This includes durable (reusable) medical equipment as well as disposable equipment used for diagnostic, treatment, and research for healthcare and public health.
Primarily used for recording which device performed an action and can also be used to track device location.
RIM scope
- Entity: ManufacturedMaterial (Enity.classCode="MMAT")
- Entity: Devices (Entity.code=DeviceGenericType)
Resource appropriateness
Devices are used throughout healthcare for the precise (and imprecise) measurements related to diagnostics and treatments, to deliver theraputic drugs and other forms of treatment, for use in surgical procedures, and used throughout research scenarios. As such, a device resource is required for the information components.
