Topic: ClinicalImpression for Healthlog?
Abbie Watson (Jun 13 2016 at 00:00):
So, for a healthlog application (basically a personal weblog or Facebook like functionality) where a patient is just self-logging statuses, we could use ClinicalImpression, right? And just set patient and assessor to the same person?

wouldnt they be observations?
Abbie Watson (Jun 13 2016 at 00:12):
That was certainly the other option I was considering. ClinicalImpression or Observation seem to be the closest match; but I'm not sure which to use.
Erich Schulz (Jun 13 2016 at 00:31):
i think you need Observations to record the primary statements... if your users are then making higher order plans based on the self-observations "I feed wheezy/suicidal so I'll make a an appointment with my doctor/counsellor" then that would be more of a clinical impression
Erich Schulz (Jun 13 2016 at 00:32):
or that is my interpretation...
Abbie Watson (Jun 13 2016 at 02:15):
That makes sense. I think what I need to do is simply implement both. Thanks for the feedback! :)
