Health Condition List

Project Summary

Concern Tracking and Care statements provide a framework for tracking and managing health concerns, however there are many undefined relationships and representations that remain to be defined. Issues identified include.

• Standard representation of how observations should be characterized (eg diagnosis vs problem)
• Standard representation of distinction and linkage between provider roles in problem lists (eg nursing problems vs physician problems).
• Standard representation of common attributes about a problem (eg clinical status, problem severity, etc)
• Methods for adding diagnosis specific attributes (eg Cancer Stage, CHF Class,...)
• Correct representation of problem modifiers and negation. (eg rule out MI, or history of MI vs AMI)
• List maintenance issues in messaging. (eg send full list including history, send full list, but no history, only send updates for a concern)
• Correct relationships terms for episode links and sub-concerns.
