      Motion to update the following on the Observation resource: 

      • Scope and Usage: 
        • Add the following to the bulleted list: "Device Settings such as mechanical ventilator parameters" right under Device Measurements bullet.
      • Observation.device Description
        • From "(Measurement) Device" to "A reference to the device that generates the measurements or the device settings for the device"
      • Observation.device Definition
        • From "The device used to generate the observation data." to "A reference to the device that generates the measurements or the device settings for the device"

    Description

      We need to store additional information (e.g., amount, volume, and other characteristics) regarding the devices used during the execution of a procedure. For example, what size of gauze was used or what were the device configuration parameters (e.g., mechanical ventilator parameters – such as mode, PEEP, FiO2).

       

      A suggestion would be to update the element used in the resource Procedure (solution similar to https://jira.hl7.org/browse/FHIR-31584):

       

       

      Element Card Data type Example
      .used 0..* BackboneElement  
      .used.parameter 0..* Backbone Element  
      .used.parameter.code 1..1 CodeableConcept CS#PressureSupport
      .used.parameter.value[x] 1..1 Quantity | Ratio | Range | boolean | CodeableConcept | string | Period  8 cmH2O (Quantity)
      .used.focus 0..1 CodeableReference (Device | DeviceDefinition | Medication | BiologicallyDerivedProduct | Substance)  Reference(PuritanBennett)
