Topic: How to say "Does NOT use device"?

How would one explicitly say "Patient does NOT use visual aid (despite eye problems)".
The DeviceUseStatement .device is required, so it looks logically impossible.

@Bryn Rhodes your cqf solution seems the least worst approach ?
Bryn Rhodes (Mar 16 2022 at 23:44):
Agreed, we don't have a negation profile for DeviceUseStatement, but the one for DeviceRequest gives the idea: https://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/fhir-qi-core/StructureDefinition-qicore-devicenotrequested.html
Bryn Rhodes (Mar 16 2022 at 23:44):
There is a notDoneValueSet extension that allows us to say things like "None of the drugs in this valueset were ordered"
Bryn Rhodes (Mar 16 2022 at 23:45):
So here's an example of it's use in that DeviceNotRequested profile: https://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/fhir-qi-core/DeviceRequest-negation-example.html

So you could define a "Visual Aids" value set and then say, Patient does not use any of the visual aids in this value set.
