DME
Source Object: DME (Durable Medical Equipment)
Overview and Usage: The "DME" source object in athena EHR is a key component for managing and documenting durable medical equipment-related information. It is essential for healthcare providers to efficiently record and track details related to durable medical equipment prescriptions and orders. Here's an overview of key fields and their usage:
- Diagnosis SNOMED Code: "diagnosissnomedcode" specifies the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine (SNOMED) code associated with the diagnosis that necessitates the durable medical equipment. It ensures proper documentation of the medical condition requiring the equipment.
- Order Type ID: "ordertypeid" serves as an identifier for the type of order placed for the durable medical equipment, facilitating order management and classification.
- Provider Note: "providernote" allows for additional notes or comments from the healthcare provider regarding the durable medical equipment order, offering context or specific instructions.
- Dispense as Written: "dispenseaswritten" indicates whether the prescription for the durable medical equipment must be dispensed as written, ensuring accurate fulfillment of the prescription.
- Number of Refills Allowed: "numrefillsallowed" specifies the number of allowable refills for the durable medical equipment prescription, helping to manage the patient's ongoing medical needs.
- Total Quantity: "totalquantity" records the total quantity or dosage of the durable medical equipment to be dispensed, aiding in supply management.
- Unstructured Sig: "unstructuredsig" field captures unstructured prescribing information or instructions related to the durable medical equipment prescription, which may include specific usage directions.
- Facility ID: "facilityid" is an identifier for the healthcare facility associated with the durable medical equipment prescription.
- Facility Note: "facilitynote" allows for additional notes or comments specific to the healthcare facility, offering context for equipment fulfillment.
The "DME" source object is vital for healthcare providers to efficiently manage and document durable medical equipment prescriptions. It ensures proper documentation of diagnoses, orders, and equipment details, facilitating accurate fulfillment and patient care. Developers can utilize this source object to build features and applications that enhance the prescription and management of durable medical equipment within athena EHR.
