Clinical data

Clinical data includes allergy, condition, laboratory test, medication data, observation, and risk data. The tables show the available data, whether the data is mandatory, and the differences when the data is manually created or received from integrated systems.

Clinical data conforms with standard coding systems for clinical data. Clinical data codes are displayed in the Reporting application for the purposes of creating reports when received from integrated systems. However, clinical data codes are not displayed in the Care Team application.

After a client is registered, you can add new Clinical data, with the exception of Coverage and Observation data.

Important: Clinical data from integrated systems refreshes overnight in Watson Care Manager and cannot be modified.

Allergy data

Allergy data conforms with standard coding systems for allergy data. Manual data entry for the allergy name is supported by a terminology search (SNOMED). Allergy data from integrated systems might be associated with different coding systems than manually created allergy records.

The table lists the fields that are displayed on an allergy record.

Condition data

Condition data conforms with standard coding systems for condition data. Manual data entry for the condition name is supported by a terminology search (SNOMED). Condition data from integrated systems might be associated with different coding systems than manually created condition records. Condition codes from integrated systems are not displayed.
Note: Problem List records in the IBM Explorys EPM Registry display as Condition records in Watson Care Manager.

If a condition is associated with more than one coding system in IBM Explorys EPM Registry, a separate condition record is displayed in Watson Care Manager for each coding system that the condition is associated with.

The table lists the fields that are displayed on a condition record.

Laboratory test data

Laboratory test data conforms to the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard. Manual data entry for the laboratory test name is supported by a coded list of laboratory tests (LOINC). Laboratory test data from integrated systems might be associated with different coding systems than manually created laboratory test records.

When Watson Care Manager receives laboratory test data from the IBM Explorys EPM Registry, there is a two-step mapping process.
  1. Watson Care Manager checks that the data contains a LOINC code, based on an internal reference list.
  2. If the LOINC code maps to a code on the list, a laboratory test record is created by Watson Care Manager. If the data contains no LOINC code, or if the LOINC code received does not match a code in the list, an observation record is created.
When Watson Care Manager receives laboratory test data from IBM Phytel products, the following mapping steps occur.
  1. Watson Care Manager checks that the data is classified as a laboratory test.
  2. Watson Care Manager creates a laboratory test record. Otherwise, an observation is record is created.
Note: Laboratory tests that are up to two years old are displayed when the records come from IBM Explorys EPM Registry.

Laboratory test records that are up to two years old are also displayed when the records come from IBM Phytel products. However if the last laboratory test record received is older than two years, Watson Care Manager displays that record.

The table lists the fields that are displayed on a laboratory test record.

Field Mandatory When manually created When received from integrated systems
Laboratory Test Name Yes Displays the laboratory test name that was selected from the preconfigured coded list when the record was manually created (LOINC). Displays the laboratory test name that was received from the integrated system.

When the record is received electronically, the laboratory test name that is displayed might be different to the name for manually created laboratory test records.

Value No Displays the value that was added to the record. Displays the data that is received from the integrated system. This could be one or any combination of the following:
  • Comparator (< > =)

If the record from the integrated system has no comparator, value, unit, or value string, the Value field is blank.

For example, if a record has a comparator (<), a value (1.5) and a unit (mEq/L).

The Value field displays <1.5 mEq/L.

If WCM receives a value without a unit, the Value field displays only the value. For example, 1.5.

Observation data

Observation data is received from integrated systems and is read-only. Observation data is visible in the Clinical data category on the Data page when one or more records are received from the integrated system.

When Watson Care Manager receives observation data, it maps the data to an appropriate data type, typically a Watson Care Manager Laboratory Test or a Vital type. If Watson Care Manager cannot map the data to an appropriate data type, an Observation record in created in the Clinical data category. Observation data from integrated systems can be vitals data, laboratory test data, or any other data that cannot be mapped to a Watson Care Manager data type.

When observation data comes from the IBM Explorys EPM Registry, Watson Care Manager maps the data to an appropriate data type based on its associated LOINC code. For example, if blood pressure data is received that contains a LOINC code that maps to the Blood Pressure LOINC code in an internal reference list, a blood pressure record is created in the Vitals data category. If the data is not associated with a LOINC code, or the LOINC code received does not map to a LOINC code in the list, an Observation record is created.

When observation data comes from IBM Phytel products, Watson Care Manager maps the data to an appropriate data type, based on whether the data is classified in the integrated system. For example, if the data is classified as a laboratory test, a Laboratory Test record is created in the Clinical data category. If the data is classified as a vitals-sign and specified as Height data, Watson Care Manager creates a Height record in the Vitals data category. Otherwise, Watson Care Manager creates an observation record.

The table lists the fields that are displayed on an observation record.

Field Mandatory When manually created When received from integrated systems
Name Yes Not applicable Displays the name that was received from the integrated system.

If the record from the integrated system has no comparator, value, unit, or value string, the Value field is blank.

For example, if a record has a comparator (<), a value (1.5) and a unit (mEq/L).

The Value field displays <1.5 mEq/L.

If WCM receives a value without a unit, the Value field displays only the value. For example, 1.5.
