Clinical data
At the console, you can configure formulary items to require the user to enter
clinical data (such as route of injection, observations, and evaluation data) when
removing, returning, or wasting an item.
When you return, remove, or waste an item, a list of clinical data selections might
appear at the station. Select one or more responses or types a response, depending
on how the category is defined.
Clinical data is passed directly to an automated charting system as part of the
charting transaction.
You can create original clinical data categories and responses or use the pre-
defined clinical data categories.
Predefined Clinical Data Categories (CDCs)
There are 33 predefined CDCs. Use predefined CDCs to save time and effort in
implementation.
You can edit or delete the predefined CDCs, just as you would edit or delete any
other CDCs.
The following table describes the predefined CDCs and their responses:
NOTE
Before configuring a formulary item, add CDCs.
NOTE
After you delete a predefined CDC, you cannot restore it.
