US Core Device Profile

The US Core Device Profile inherits from the FHIR Device resource; refer to it for scope and usage definitions. It sets minimum expectations for the Device resource to record, search, and fetch medical and non-medical devices (for example, software or crutches). This profile meets the requirements of the U.S. Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) *Medical Device* Data Class, including FDA Unique Device Identification (UDI) information associated with a patient's medical device(s). It specifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets SHALL be present in the resource and constrains how the elements are used and provides the floor for standards development for specific use cases promotes interoperability and adoption.
