AlertFlag

An alert describes a clinical or administrative fact brought to the attention of the users of the clinical systems to be taken into account when shaping diagnostic and therapeutic policy or in dealing with the patient, usually because of a safety risk. Disorders that describe the body’s sensitivity to a substance which results in a specific physiological reaction after being exposed to that substance are referred to as allergies. These are described in a separate information model. Warnings for non-allergic disorders can concern:

  • A disorder, condition or diagnosis which can be considered as a contraindication for undergoing a certain type of therapy, such as pregnancy or long QT syndrome;
  • Impaired functioning of an organ system (heart failure, impaired liver or kidney function, weakened immune system);
  • Risk of spreading certain microorganisms (multi-resistant bacteria, tubercle bacilli, HIV, HBV, Ebola virus);
  • Other risks

  • Medicine
  • Medicine category
  • Ingredient/addition
  • Nutrition
  • Environmental factor
  • Animal
  • Plants
  • Chemicals

A problem describes a situation with regard to an individual’s health and/or welfare. This situation can be described by the person involved (the patient) themselves (in the form of a complaint), or by their healthcare professional (in the form of a diagnosis, for example). The situation can form cause for diagnostic or therapeutic policy.

A problem includes all kinds of medical or nursing information that represents a health problem. A problem can represent various types of health problems:

A complaint, finding by patient: a subjective, negatively experienced observation of the patient’s health. Examples: stomach ache, amnesia

A symptom: an observation by or about the patient which may indicate a certain disease. Examples: fever, blood in stool, white spots on the roof of the mouth;

A diagnosis: medical interpretation of complaints and findings. Examples: Diabetes Mellitus type II, pneumonia, hemolytic-uremic syndrome.

A functional limitation: a reduction of functional options. Examples: reduced mobility, help required for dressing.
