The Device Management Information Reporter (DMIR) produces observations.  The Device Management Information Reporter (DMIR) may also be an observation transaction sending actor in other IHE PCD profiles, such as a DEC DOR, an ACM AR, or an IPEC DOR.  If that is the case then the observations defined in this document may be included in existing observation content for those profiles without adoption of this profile, unless the destination to which the observations are being sent is a CMMS and not an EMR/EHR system.  If that the case then this profile should be implemented.
