QR and/or Barcodes for data capture into other systems
Please consider making the GUID available to ancillary staff in the form of a barcode or QR code for checking against other systems or reconciliation of inventories (Ex an LTC Nurse doing rounds and seeing a pacemaker on the careplan, making sure if the resident goes out to another hospital, that device is listed on their transfer form in case the receiving hospital was not part of the Exchange of original hospital where device was implanted).

Expand UDI for all Medical Devices
Expand the types of devices to apply Unique Device Identification to all devices subject to the Unique Device Identification Rule. This includes the Level 2 concepts of Test Kit Unique Identifier and Level 1 Instrument Unique Identifier that should be available for use in combination (i.e., a test kit may be run on an instrument and not including both would limit the value of the data).
