Jay At Nebraska we have rolled out our Epic encounter data and have created mapping to the PCORI valueset for encounter types. Epic has provided an unfortunate excess of encounters such that administrative, billing and non-patient care events are all assigned as encounters. Segregating between ED and hospitalizations as well as ambulatory surgery is a bit convoluted but we have sorted out the Clarity data structures necessary to do so. At this time we are planning to map the PCORI valueset data to a metadata element specifically for PCORI queries PCORI\Encounters\Encounter type When we have a LOINC code assigned from Regenstrief, we will add the LOINC basecode
In some respects it would be cleaner to use LOS coding to identify service events but then non-billable patient care encounters would be ignored. Nate Apathy - how does Cerner record pateitn care encounters? Jim From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Fuehrer, Jay T Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2014 2:52 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Larose, Eric R Subject: Encounter_num Just hopefully a quick question to the group. How are everyone's encounter_num field being defined(or filled in) in the observation fact table? From my understanding, those that have EPIC this is already sort of defined in the source data (I think), correct? At Marshfield, unfortunately we don't have anything like that in our source data. In the past, we have created encounter numbers for our VDW as part of the HMORN, and we have based it off of other information that we have such as MHN, date, provider, facility, etc. I'm just curious how this is defined for EPIC sites and for non-EPIC sites. Also, related to my question above, regarding the annotated data dictionary that we need to fill out - in particular the encounter type (which is part of the encounter, diagnosis, and procedure content areas). Are other sites currently loading these encounter types(AV, ED, IP, etc.) into i2b2? If so, what fields are they being stored in? Any info would be greatly appreciated here at Marshfield.
