Device & care-pathway categories
Each row aggregates the patients and records associated with one device category. "Source" indicates whether matches came from structured codes (coded), free-text regex (text), or both (coded+text).

About this dashboard
This is a privacy-safe summary of the device-extraction outputs from
device_extraction.py. It combines two underlying CSVs:
device_codes.csv— structured matches against the DEVICE_CODES lookup table (HCPCS / CPT-4 / SNOMED-CT codes for devices and ALS-care-indicator procedures).device_extractions.csv— regex matches againstnotes[].narrative_textanddocuments[].plain_textusing DEVICE_PATTERNS (PEG, BiPAP, tracheostomy, cough assist, power wheelchair, AAC/SGD brand names, etc.).
Privacy controls applied throughout:
- Patient identifiers are replaced with PT-NNNN pseudonyms, stable within this run.
- Calendar dates are reduced to year only.
- Snippet text is truncated to 200 characters.
- Devices, patterns, and categories with fewer than k=2 unique exposed patients are suppressed entirely (k-anonymity at the device level).
- Resource UUIDs are never emitted.
Important caveat about ARC data: SMART on FHIR pulls from the clinical EHR rarely capture DME-supplier records, so direct device-procurement codes (E0470 BiPAP, K0813 power wheelchair, B4034 gastrostomy supplies) are typically absent from structured procedure records. The structured side of this dashboard surfaces mostly ALS-care-indicator procedures — spirometry, sleep studies, EMG/NCS, speech screening, botulinum toxin, PT/OT re-evaluations, and mobility/self-care status reporting — that signal where the patient is on the typical ALS-care pathway. Direct device presence is typically captured by the regex side from clinical notes.
