| DESCRIPTION |
This computed finding will check if a patient is documented as pregnant
Caution: This computed finding groups the statuses NOT PREGNANT and DO
NOT KNOW into a single NOT PREGNANT OR UNKNOWN status. If you need a
precise pregnancy status for a patient, use the VA-WH PATIENT
DOCUMENTATION reminder computed finding.
To check if the patient is pregnant, set the first caret piece of
the COMPUTED FINDING PARAMETER value to PREGNANT.
To check if the patient is lactating, set the first caret piece
of the COMPUTED FINDING PARAMETER value to LACTATING.
or lactating. It will return true if a patient is pregnant/lactating
The second caret piece of the COMPUTED FINDING PARAMETER value determines
how the end date of a pregnancy is calculated when no end date is
specified. Setting this piece to DIALOG will set the end date to
tomorrow's date. Leaving this piece empty will set the end date to the
date the NOT PREGNANT status was entered.
The CONDITION field may make use of the "STATUS" CSUB subscript. This
subscript contains a textual representation of the patient's status. When
the first caret piece of the COMPUTED FINDING PARAMETER value is PREGNANT,
on a specific date or was pregnant/lactating on at least one day within
possible values are "PREGNANT" and "NOT PREGNANT OR UNKNOWN". When the
first caret piece of the COMPUTED FINDING PARAMETER value is LACTATING,
possible values are "LACTATING" and "NOT LACTATING OR UNKNOWN". For
example:
I V(1,"STATUS")="PREGNANT"
a date range. It will return false if the patient was not
pregnant/lactating or the status was unknown on a specific date or for all
days within a date range. If no date is specified, the value of TODAY is
used. You may specify a specific date in either the Beginning Date/Time
or Ending Date/Time parameters.
