Clinical Assessment


Pre Conditions

Data is entered into the Clinical Data Repository via Apple HealthKit/Google Health/Hl7 Personal Health Device integration or Structured Data Capture. This data is also sent to an Event Service, this emits the data as an event feed.

Event Feed

The Clinical Assessment Service inspects the event feed for triggering events. This is a series of rules such as (these have not been clinically verified):

  • if resting heart (LOINC 55425-3) is 10 beats higher than average resting heart rate for last two weeks then call Does Patient have COVID Clinical Knowledge Sevice
  • if body weight (SNOMED 27113001) recorded then perform Calculate BMI
  • if vital signs recorded and patient has active episode then perform NEWS2 Risk Calculations

Assess Patient

This performs the clinical assessment, to perform this assessment this may need to retrieve assessments from the Clinical Data Repository, these may be autopopulated from a combination of data entered an application (structured data capture) or data sourced from personnel health devices.

Clinical Assessment

Clinical Assessment Performed

If the clinical assessment can be performed then a FHIR ClinicalImpression and Risk Scores are returned. These should be stored in the Clinical Data Repository.

Not Performed

If clinical assessment can't be performed such as Obesity which requires a Waist Circumference measurement (SNOMED 276361009) or Height (SNOMED 50373000), then a request to perform an Assessment can be made.
