First - I’d like to thank everyone for their feedback to date, you are incredibly helpful, and I have some more questions :
-
w/PCP & obgyn - here PCP will mean Primary Care Physician ?
-
“past due”, as in:
Past Due Interval (Clinical Reminders)
Past Due Interval (Patient Reminders)
Soon Due Interval (Clinical Reminders)
Soon Due Interval (Patient Reminders)
when a reminder has a ‘past due’ status - does it mean that it should have been sent at some point in the past and sb failed to send it, so it should be sent again?
-
a patient reminder is sent to a patient, a clinical reminder is sent to whom?
-
in race/ethnicity:
what is the difference between : ‘other – specified’ and ‘specified’ - is it the same?
unspecified - means a patient didn’t specify his race or that doctors cannot tell his race…
withheld - means this info is confidential?
*PG acronym in procedure units – does it mean pregnant? Somehow it doesn’t match the "units’ context
- ‘result abnormal’ - means the results seem abnormal as in maybe there was a mistake during lab tests and the test should be repeated" or “abnormal” because it exceeds the norms and the patient might be seriously ill
*procedure - what types of actions does it encompass in OpenEMR? exams/labs tests/surgeries/ health checks?
*test scheduling - it’s a type of a doctor’s patient note - does it mean “we need to schedule tests” or “test scheduling is pending”?
*placeholder - is it a person or sth to do with IT/programming - (in Placeholder Maintains empty ACLs)
*reminder intervals : e.g. warning 2 weeks, past due – one month - how should I interpret it - that a warning should be sent once 2 weeks before an event or everyday for 2 weeks before an event?; and past due (if it means that a patient didn’t show up) - should be sent 1 month after an event once? or everyday for a month? that’s really confusing, given I have never experienced a medical service with patient reminders…(feeling sad…)
*alert - reminder - warning - which is sent to whom? just in a nutshell - I just need to understand the basic difference to illustrate it in Polish equivalents
thank you in advance
