hello,
how to implement the fluid balance (intake&output) result any suggesions?
thank you.
Lloyd McKenzie (Jul 27 2017 at 15:20):
This would be an Observation. effectivePeriod would cover the time over which intake & output were measured. And you could derive from specific input and output observations.

Hi, can I create profiles seperately for the intake and output panels, then link to the related element in fluid balance profile? Copy-of-InPut-OutPut12697.xlsx. How can I implement 'type' in the profile which is in the attached file? Thank you.
Lloyd McKenzie (Jul 28 2017 at 06:06):
It seems likely in most cases type would be pre-coordinated into the Observation.code. Saying "I observed 24 hour oral inputs" or "I observed 24 hour oral medication inputs" would be two distinct codes
Pranitha Sruthi (Jul 28 2017 at 06:11):
Then do I have to create profiles for all the types mentioned in the file?
Pranitha Sruthi (Jul 28 2017 at 06:14):
I did not understand.
Lloyd McKenzie (Jul 28 2017 at 06:15):
Not unless there are different constraints for each type of input. You can just define a value set of the allowed observation codes
Pranitha Sruthi (Jul 28 2017 at 06:17):
Do I have to create profiles for individual components (as mentioned in the excel sheet column "Component")?
Lloyd McKenzie (Jul 28 2017 at 08:23):
I would expect component, type and duration would all combine to define a single code.
Pranitha Sruthi (Jul 28 2017 at 08:56):
Ok then shall I create individual observation profiles for the components?
Lloyd McKenzie (Jul 28 2017 at 15:54):
If it's all in code, you don't need to. You can define a single profile that identifies a value set with all of the Observation codes needed.
Pranitha Sruthi (Jul 31 2017 at 06:01):
Can you please explain with an example?
Jayashree Surnar (Jul 31 2017 at 07:11):
@Lloyd McKenzie is there any sample profile for Fluidbalance available?
Lloyd McKenzie (Jul 31 2017 at 14:23):
There's no profile for fluid balance in the core spec. I'm not sure if anyone else might have one. To move forward, what code system are you using to capture the fluid balance observations? Have you looked at whether LOINC or SNOMED contains the codes you need?
Pranitha Sruthi (Aug 01 2017 at 03:59):
Yes LOINC codes are available, but the 'type' (lipid, medication etc) is not available. There are a combination of component and duration codes for example "Fluid intake enema 10 hr".
