    Description

      Scope of this ticket:
      How to best model the relationship between Device and the Patient.

      There are different use cases:

      • Link patient to implantable/attached device
      • Retrieve history of device used by multiple patients (e.g. ventilator, patient monitor, wheelchair, ...)

      What is in R5?

      • DeviceUsage is a statement from the user that a device has been used.
      • DeviceDispense resource indicates a device has been dispensed.
      • Device allows to indicate an association between a device and a patient.

      Discussions in Sept 22 WGM addressed removing association from Device and replacing with (an updated version) of DeviceDispense.

      These discussions need to be resolved and the resources updated before R5 is published.
