FHIR R4 DeviceRequest API

Overview

This asset is a component of MuleSoft Accelerator for Healthcare.

MuleSoft Accelerator for Healthcare enables healthcare providers to unlock critical patient data to build a patient 360 within Salesforce Health Cloud, faster and easier than ever before. The solution includes pre-built APIs, connectors, integration templates, and prescriptive end-to-end reference architecture to bring patient demographics information and COVID-19 test results from any EHR into Health Cloud using HL7 V2 or FHIR standards.

The solution also provides a library of United States Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) and FHIR R4 resources to help healthcare developers adhere to interoperability needs and jumpstart the development of healthcare digital transformation initiatives.

Use case covered

Trial-Use Note: In terms of scope and usage, the Orders and Observations workgroups wish to draw the attention of reviewers and implementers to the following issue:

 - We are seeking input from the implementation community on whether to combine DeviceRequest and VisionPrescription for R4. The parameters element was added to DeviceRequest for representing custom details for ordering devices. With this change, VisionPrescription significantly overlaps DeviceRequest. To illustrate this, the devicerequest-left-lens and devicerequest-right-lens examples are based on the general glasses example in VisionPrescription.

This resource is a request resource from a FHIR workflow perspective - see Workflow.

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. Examples of devices that may be requested include wheelchair, hearing aids, or an insulin pump. The request may lead to the dispensing of the device to the patient or for use by the patient.

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

This API uses FHIR R4 DeviceRequest Library.
