We designed our rad dictionary like this:
AIH AMER INDIAN-ALASKN NAT\HISP
AIN AMER INDIAN-ALASKN NAT\NONHISP
AIU AMER INDIAN-ALASKN NAT\UNKNOWN
ASH ASIAN\HISPANIC
ASN ASIAN\NONHISPANIC
ASU ASIAN\UNKNOWN
BLH BLACK\HISPANIC
BLN BLACK\NONHISPANIC
BLU BLACK\UNKNOWN
OTH OTHER\HISPANIC
OTN OTHER\NONHISPANIC
OTU OTHER\UNKNOWN
PIH PACFIC ISLAND/HAWIIAN\HISPANIC
PIN PACIFIC ISLAND/HAWIIAN\NONHISP
PIU PACIFIC ISLAND/HAWIIAN\UNKNOWN
UNH UNKNOWN\HISPANIC
UNN UNKNOWN\NONHISPANIC
UNU UNKNOWN\UNKNOWN
UTA UNABLE TO ASK RACE & ETHNICITY
WHH WHITE\HISPANIC
WHN WHITE\NONHISPANIC
WHU WHITE\UNKNOWN
Then in the download for JCAHO we did a string search and assigned the race
response to the correct number:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]"W" 1;@race'%1="BL" 2;@race'%1="AI" 3;@race'%1="AS" 4;
[EMAIL PROTECTED]"O"!(@race#0="U")!('@race) 7}
and ethnicity:
VAL=IF{L(@race)=2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]"H" "Y";"N"};[EMAIL PROTECTED]"H" "Y";"N"}}

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Ethnicity - JCAHO Requirement
Meditech users,
JCAHO now requires for hospitals to identify Ethnicity of our patients. For
example, the two classifications of ethnicity are:
1) -Hispanic or Latino; or 2)-Not Hispanic or Latino. How are other
Meditech facilities documenting this and where?
Thank you for your replies.
