Conceptually, "external care entries" allow to capture
which patient
receives care
for which problem
which may or may not be identical to an in-GNUmed health issue
at which external care location
by which care provider at that location (if known)
laced with a free comment
The idea is to allow to more fully capture where else a
patient receives care for what without having to resort to
making such entries first-class health issues within a
patient's EMR (since we may not be taking care of them
ourselves).
This can capture things like
Dr.Heart is taking care of the cardiomyopathy
Lakefield PT is taking care of orthopedic rehab and other PT needs
the patient's GP is Dr.Broadband at Riverside Clinic
the patient is being seen by the rheumatology dept. at Westfield
University for her SLE
At the schema level there's a table
create table clin.external_care (
pk serial primary key,
fk_identity integer,
fk_health_issue integer,
issue text,
fk_org_unit integer,
provider text,
comment text
) inherits (audit.audit_fields);
Does this help ?
