Topic: Device Inventory Question


view this post on Zulip Nathan Hall (May 04 2020 at 14:21):

I have multiple devices ( Medication dispense cabinets) at multiple locations.

What is the best way to denote the inventory (medications) of a device? Should I do a custom operation, such as /Device/{id}/$medications? Does anyone have a better way?

Maybe /Medication?device.location={deviceIdentifier}

And add a device extension on the Medication?

THANK YOU for bringing it up. We don't handle inventory yet.

I find it interesting that your medication location is a device (which it is). But I would prefer to also support non-device locations (e.g. shelves)

Sure, it's a Machine, ATM, that dispenses the medications. So thought a location for the device, and medications in the device. But I am very open to other ideas.

we have a Product call today and this was in the queue for discussion. This could be a good trigger for us to put it in the agenda

what we need is the "inventory" bit - that is missing.
