Hi, all

The scenario is If I choose a Nuclear Medicine Device in web input, we expect system response which device related examination.
For example, If I choose Gamma Camera, the system could list Sialoscintigraphy, Thyroid Scan ...

So is there any Resource could express the relationship between the device(Gamma Camera) and the examination(Sialoscintigraphy) ? How to use?

The similar scenario, If I choose Sialoscintigraphy the system should list related medication, Tc-99m TcO4.
Is there any Resource could express the relationship, too?

Thank you.

@Bryn Rhodes Is this something ActivityDefinition or PlanDefinition can support?

Combined with some value sets, I think yes. The ActivityDefinition would provide a way to describe the types of procedures, and the PlanDefinition would give you a way to define the applicability condition (i.e. a specific device).

I don't think this is PlanDefinition or ActivityDefinition

Well, the first bit at least. This seems "what types of procedures can this device do" and then "what kind of products do we need for this procedure"

Well, the first could be covered with PlanDefinition if you start with the procedure and list the devices that support it (_has?).

So while PlanDefinition can cover this specific case, I would think we should have a way to link products to the things they can do or they need.
