    Description

      Requested enhancement:

      Add: data elemment "category", of type "code", with initial allowed strings of permanent-implant, durable-medical-equipment, personal-health-device, reusable-device, prosthetic".

      Add search parameter "category" of type "token"

      Reason:

      We need a search parameter to distinguish implantable devices, initally, but we expect other devices associated with patients will be relevant in the near future (e.g. durable medical equipment).

      I included a quote from the recent ONC NPRM:

      "Ultimately, we expect all data to be transferred through APIs or other advanced technologies. EHI export also supports longitudinal data record development, and aligns with section 4006(a) of the Cures Act, which requires [t]he Secretary, in consultation with the National Coordinator, [to] promote policies that ensure that a patient's EHI is accessible to that patient and the patient's designees, in a manner that facilitates communication with the patient's health care providers and other individuals, including researchers, consistent with such patient's consent.
