Selection Types for Dynamic HPI Configuration

The Dynamic HPI Config practice template enables you to build different findings based on the associated sections for each reason of visit in the Findings section. The Selection Type and Parameter field determine how the findings are presented on the dynamic HPI. The Finding Type field determines how the findings are concatenated.

You can choose from the following Selection Type options in the Findings grid:

HPI Selection TypeDescriptionIllustration
Standard selectionIndicates a single selection. You can use the standard selection option for the details associated with the intro section. For example, name, age, gender, and so on.

Group selection

Includes Group 1 and Group 2. Each has a different meaning that concatenates into separate sentences.

Sub-selection

Gives you the ability to drill down to additional selections within a section. You can select the sub-selection items from the available lists. For example, in the Orthopedics specialty, ankle reason, if you select place of injury, an associated list of findings for the place of injury appears. One of those items is MVA (Motor Vehicle Accident) which upon selection, prompts a sub-selection set related to motor vehicle accidents.

After you have saved your sub-selection record, you have to highlight the item in the Findings grid, and drill down into the sub-selection set to add, edit, or update within that sub-selection.

Pop-up

Displays templates such as calendar, interval and numeric keypad. There are also History of Present Illness (HPI) specific templates, for such items as onset or frequency.

Clinical data/results

Retrieves the patient data from the database in the dynamic HPI template. While using the dynamic HPI template, after selecting an option from the section list in the left pane, the findings appear. If one of the findings has a clinical data result, you can click the finding to open the list. For example, clinical data results in the HPI are past medical history, past surgical history, family history, patient's current medication name, patient's current medication detail, patient's previous medication detail, patient's previous medication name, questionnaire and diagnostic orders in the order table or Orders module, and so on. The clinical data result appears in the concatenated sentence in the grid below the Prior Treatment grid.
