Device
GET https://api.flexpa.com/fhir/Device
Device is a clinical FHIR Resource that acts as a record of a device that is associated with a patient. Typically these are implants, but can be any device that is used in patient care. This resource is commonly used to track pacemakers, defibrillators, and other implanted devices.
While a few payers may make this information available, almost all do not have this data unless it is submitted to the payer by providers for quality measures or other provider/payer data exchange programs, as it is not included with or derived from core claims generation.
