Vitals data
Vitals data includes blood pressure, body temperature, and body mass index data. The tables show the available data, whether the data is mandatory, and the differences in the data when it is manually created or received from integrated systems.
Vitals data conforms with standard coding systems for vital signs data. If received from integrated systems, vitals data codes are displayed in the Reporting application for the purposes of creating reports. However, vitals 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.
Mapping vitals data from integrated systems
- Watson Care Manager checks
that the data is classified as a
vitals-sign
and is specified as a particular vitals sign type, such as Weight. - Watson Care Manager creates an appropriate vitals data record in the Clinical data category, for example, a Weight record. Otherwise, an observation is record is created.

bpm ). the Heart Rate field displays = . If
Watson Care Manager receives a value string without a comparator, the Heart Rate field displays only
value. For example, |
Measurement Method | No | Displays one of the following values:
