Device

This data model allows vendors to send discrete continuous physiological monitoring data to a patient's chart (e.g., heart rate, estimated blood loss).

A Device data model is useful when an EHR system is maintaining the link from the device to the patient. The vendor sending device data back to the EHR system should include the device ID to save the data to the patient's chart.

There are two types of device patient association in the EHR system:

  • Static: If a device isn't movable and is located in a single patient room, we can assume that any patient in that room is using the device when data comes back for it. There's no manual step needed for association of the device to the patient. A nurse validates the data to file it to a patient's chart.
  • Dynamic: If a device is mobile and moves from room to room, medical staff must manually associate the device with a patient in the EHR system before data flows to that chart and can be validated.

This data model has event types that allow you to:

  • send new observations from a device to a patient's chart.

New

Push new observations from a device to a patient's chart.

One message may include multiple observations.

Patient and visit information may be included. However, the EHR system usually maps the device ID either to the patient directly or to a room/bed directly. So the EHR system usually ignores the patient and visit information.
