I'm trying to tie an implantable device back to the procedure in which it was implanted. Should that be done as a partOf extension to the Device or is there some other standard way?

@Eric Haas @Michelle (Moseman) Miller ?
Eric Haas (Apr 24 2019 at 19:32):
what about using Procedure.focalDevice that is the proper direction of the relationship.
Scott Presnell (Apr 25 2019 at 13:05):
@Eric Haas That would work, but is there no linkage the other way?
Lloyd McKenzie (Apr 25 2019 at 14:13):
Reverse linkages are not added in FHIR - you can query against the reverse link, but we never create associations both ways because it causes issues with RESTful updates/creates

That makes sense. Thanks!
