| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
This patch will include the creation of a new field that will incorporate
Vitals Type File (#120.51): This file contains a list of vital
sign types, for example, height, weight, and temperature
Vitals Qualifier File (#120.52): Description of how the patient
vital signs and measurements were taken. Categorized by location (e.g.,
right arm, left leg), position (e.g., lying, sitting, standing), method
(e.g., cuff, Doppler, assisted ventilator, etc.), site (e.g., right,
left), quality (e.g., actual, estimated), and cuff size (e.g., adult,
small adult, pediatric).
Vitals Category File (#120.53): This file contains the cuff size,
location, method, position, quality, and site of the vitals which are
data from the respective Standards Development Organization (SDO) to the
simply ways of grouping qualifiers which store the important data.
GMRV VITAL TYPE (#120.51) file shall be updated to include a new field to
store LOINC code field from the respective SDO. The new field s shall be
set as a multiple in order to accommodate the potential future need to
utilize an additional or different code type, such as CPT, for
association with a given Vital Type term. The data gathered from the
needed LOINC CT mapping effort will be used to populate this field.
GMRV VITAL QUALIFIER (#120.52) file shall be updated to include a new
field to store the SNOMED CT code from the respective SDO. The new field
shall be set as a multiple in order to accommodate multiple SNOMED CT
Vitals Type (#120.51), Vitals Qualifier (#120.52) and Vitals Category
codes per term within file 120.52, since there may be one-to-many
relationships in addition to one-to-one relationships when the active
terms in files 120.52 are associated to SNOMED CT codes. The data
gathered from the needed SNOMED CT mapping effort will be used to
populate this field.
GMRV VITAL CATEGORY (#120.53) file shall be updated to include a new
field to store the SNOMED CT code from the respective SDO. The new field
shall be set as a multiple in order to accommodate multiple SNOMED CT
codes per term within file 120.53 since there may be one to many
relationships in addition to one to one when the active terms in files
(#120.53) files.
120.53 are associated to SNOMED CT codes. The data gathered from the
needed SNOMED CT mapping effort will be used to populate this field.
The Vital Type, Vital Qualifier, and Vital Category files will be
addressed during this effort due to the nature of the data within these
files that are necessary for referencing, reporting, and interoperability
purposes.
The following three files are associated with the Vital Signs Domain:
