Description
FHIR R5 introduces the new component contributingFactor. ItemReference supports reference to (Condition | Observation | AllergyIntolerance | FamilyMemberHistory | Immunization | Procedure | Device | DocumentReference | MedicationAdministration | MedicationUsage).
We suggest the addition of a Reference to DeviceDefinition and DeviceUsage.
Example: Device Definition captures the details of the type of device that may be associated. For example, a central line device may have contributed to a central line infection. DeviceUsage provides details such as how long the device was implanted in the patient.
