Health Concern DAM Questions
Settled
- Is the indication of a Care Plan a Health Concern or a Condition?
- Concern. If a condition is of sufficient concern to merit a plan, it's a concern.
- When specifying a concern, are we simply classifying a condition, or are we creating a new object?
- We are specifying a new object. Especially because the relationship could be 1:n between concerns and conditions.
- Are diagnosing as a condition, classifying as a concern, and assigning a (initially empty) plan each distinct actions to be taken by the caregiver?
- Yes. It could even be different roles and responsibilities, especially if there are multidisciplinary teams involved. In my example of Obesity the pain in the knee could diagnosed by the physiotherapist , but the overall Care plan is coordinated by a general practitioner.
- Assume that observations are associated with encounters; associations with concerns, conditions, or plans are secondary
- Yes
- Does "intervention" belong in the Health Concern domain?
- Yes. There is a consideration of overlap with Care Plan, but [not sure I followed the rationale for this].
Not Settled
- What is the cardinality of the association between Condition and HealthConcern?
- A condition may serve as the focus of a concern, or it may not. 0:1 on this end.
- A concern should have a single focal concern, but it may have other related concerns. How do we define the relationship--as cause?
