Topic: Acute versus chronic Condition coding
Nick Radov (Nov 01 2021 at 17:16):
From a clinical standpoint what is the appropriate way to model acute episodes for chronic conditions? For example, asthma or sickle cell anemia. You can have an active Condition resource for the chronic disease, but it's also useful to document symptoms and duration when the disease flares up temporarily. That flare up might sometimes result in an Encounter or EpisodeOfCare, but not always. Would it be appropriate create a separate Condition resource for each acute flare up or is there a better approach?
