Source Object: Patient Goals
Overview and Usage: The "Patient Goals" source object is a fundamental component of the athena EHR system that allows healthcare providers and clinicians to manage and track patient-specific goals and objectives effectively.
- DiscussionNotes: This field is used to document discussions related to patient goals. It can contain important notes, comments, and updates regarding the goals and their progress.
- FreeTextGoal: FreeTextGoal stores patient goals in a free-text format. Patients can express their health and wellness objectives and desired outcomes in their own words.
- Goals: Goals are structured objectives that include specific details such as duration, goal type, primary goal status, name, status, and target value. These structured goals help in setting clear expectations and tracking progress.
- PatientInstructions: This field contains instructions provided to patients for achieving their goals, which can include guidance on lifestyle changes, medication adherence, and other recommendations.
- AuditInformation: AuditInformation fields store information about the last modification to discussion notes, free-text goals, and patient instructions, including who made the changes and when.
- VersionTokens: Version tokens are used to manage updates to the discussion notes, free-text goals, and patient instructions. They help track changes and maintain data integrity.
Healthcare providers and clinicians utilize the "Patient Goals" source object to establish, monitor, and update patient-specific objectives. The structured goals provide clarity and specificity, while the free-text goals allow patients to express their goals in their own terms. The discussion notes and patient instructions facilitate communication and help in aligning care plans with patient goals.
