Topic: connecting observations to condition
Mareike Przysucha (Jun 18 2019 at 12:20):
Hello everyone. We are currently profiling for our project "PosiThera". In this project, we have a central condition representing a wound. In order to describe a wound we have a lot of observations, e.g. size, presence of wound exudate, its odor or granulation. Our problem is, that we can't find a way to connect these observation to a specific wound.
The use case for this is: A patient has not only one wound, but more. How to I model, that observation XY belongs to wound 1 and observation UV belongs to wound 2?
I found "focus" as trial use in R4, but the resources we have in Forge (R4) do not have this data field.
Thanks in advance for your time and help!

you can use focus pointing to a BodyStructure Resource.
Mareike Przysucha (Jun 18 2019 at 12:27):
... and use the same bodystructure in the condition, correct?
Patrick Werner (Jun 18 2019 at 12:27):
yes

thanks @Patrick Werner that helped a lot. and I found the focus, I was just too blind to see.

Can't you use the Observation.focus to reference the specific wound Condition?

@Michelle (Moseman) Miller : Does Patient Care have any recommendations for wound documentation?
Mareike Przysucha (Jun 28 2019 at 11:08):
@Ardon Toonstra We discussed it today at our presence meeting. Your idea was considered the appropriate one. So thanks for your answer!
