Source Object: Family History
The Family History source object encompasses information related to a patient's family medical history, focusing on various aspects such as specific conditions, relationships, and relevant codes.
Overview
Family medical history plays a critical role in assessing a patient's risk factors for various hereditary or familial health conditions. The Family History source object is designed to capture and organize this important information within a patient's electronic health record (EHR).
Usage
The Family History source object has the following key uses within a healthcare platform:
- Documenting Family History: It serves as a structured repository for recording and organizing a patient's family medical history. This may include information about conditions that run in the family or any noteworthy health issues among close relatives.
- Identifying Relationships: The source object includes data about the patient's relationships with family members, helping to establish a clear picture of how medical conditions may be inherited.
- Coding and Standardization: ICD-9 and SNOMED codes are utilized to standardize and categorize specific medical conditions, ensuring consistency in recording and retrieval of family history data.
- Created and Deleted Dates: These dates provide insights into when the family history information was added or removed, contributing to data audit trails.
- Enhanced Risk Assessment: Family history data aids healthcare providers in assessing a patient's risk for hereditary conditions and tailoring preventive measures or early detection strategies accordingly.
The Family History source object is an essential component in delivering personalized healthcare by considering genetic factors and family trends in medical assessments and decision-making.
