Description
There are a few Jiras that got mixed up:
https://jira.hl7.org/browse/FHIR-30243 - This requested new reference types for Device.subject (with a use case)
https://jira.hl7.org/browse/FHIR-34135 - this removed Person. We proposed adding Person in FHIR-30243, and that was accepted. However I agree that we should have made that RelatedPerson, not Person.
https://jira.hl7.org/browse/FHIR-32570 - as part of the move from subject to association, this removed Practitioner as a reference type, claiming that there was no use case for it.
To resolve these, I'd propose these updates:
- Update Device.association.humanSubject to add back in Practitioner. Also add in RelatedPerson (instead of Person) to allow associating devices (like RLTS tags) to (for example) parents or other caregivers accompanying patients in the hospital.
- Either update humanSubject to be just subject, and expand the reference type to include Device. Or add a sibling property (nonHumanSubject) for devices associated to non-humans. This allows an RTLS device to be associated with a medical device (for example, and infusion pump. Device(RTLS Tag)-> Device (Infusion Pump).
My strong preference for #2 is to just make it Device.association.subject so you can associate to any type of subject.
