Flagging observation client data
Observation data comes from integrated systems and is read-only. A client might have many observation records. To make the records easier to find, you can flag and sort observations that you are most interested in.
About this task
When Watson Care Manager receives an observation record from an integrated system, it maps the
data to an appropriate data type, typically a Laboratory Test or a
Vital type. For example, if Watson Care Manager receives blood pressure data
that was classified as a vital in the integrated system, Watson Care Manager creates a
Blood Pressure record in the Vitals data category. If the
data is not classified in the integrated system, and cannot be mapped by Watson Care Manager, an
Observation record is created. An observation might be vitals data, laboratory
test data, or other data that could not be mapped to a Watson Care Manager data type.
Note: The
observation data that you see matches the data that was received from the external system. In the
Description column on the Observation list, you see the
observation name and value, if available. If a unit of measurement applies to the observation, the
value also includes the unit, if available. For example, for a laboratory test observation record
that measures a client's
Hemoglobin A1c
, you might see a value of
6
, 6%
, or < 6%
, depending on the data that is
received from the external system.Procedure
