Hugh,
MD can already tell you when the last pap smear was, based on pathology
report dates. You can enter the term your provider uses in its reports
for a pap smear.
Most path providers will now provide your results in HL7 and MD will put
atomic data on a range of diabetes related tests, such as HbA1C,
triglyceride, cholesterol, and a number of others, into the measures
table and hence the diabetes record and progress notes.
If GPs start requesting HL7 results from their pathology providers and
annoying their medical software vendors the list will grow.
Greg
Regarding the placement of atomised pathology data from a path provider
into MD, I understand that these items will appear as a record in
pathatom.dbf and pathol.dbf database tables. But will they appear
directly in the diabetes record of that patient i.e. populate directly
either the measures.dbf table or the diabetes.dbf table ?
I'm recalling that atomised pathology data only exists within the
associated pathology tables of MD. Has this changed whereby MD has some
intelligence to autopopulate other tables ?
Andre.
