The Dynamic HPI Contradictions Config template is designed to prevent you from selecting clinically contradictory terms in the same section or sub-section of a dynamic HPI. For example, you would not want to document a Quality of Mass as tender and non-tender in the same patient encounter. By making these values mutually exclusive, the system prevents the user from accidentally selecting the opposing terminology simultaneously.
Any practice can use the Dynamic HPI Contradictions Config template to manually create new, mutually exclusive selections, and modify or remove existing pairs. Contradictions can also be matched automatically by selecting the Automatically match similar contradictions link.
The practice template contains two grids:
- Findings and contradictions: Lists content items and their contradictions within a specific section or sub-section. The grid includes the following columns:
- Group#: The template is set up to match the contradictions from Group# 1 to Group# 2
- Caption
- Contradiction: the grid also includes the following elements:
- Only create or remove for selected item option (above the grid) - when selected, the system creates or removes one record instead of automatically managing both the positive and negative values. By default, this option is not selected.
- Automatically match similar contradiction link - executes a stored procedure that creates matches based on similar descriptive values.
- Remove contradiction - enables you to remove a contradiction.
- Findings grid - contains a list of items from which to choose. The list belongs to specific sections and/or sub-sections. The grid includes the following columns:
