Flowsheet

This data model communicates discrete clinical data to or from an EHR system. Flowsheet data includes both inpatient and outpatient data, including assessment information, vitals, patient-reported outcomes or questionnaires, and any other discrete clinical documentation.

This data model has event types that allow you to:

  • provide continuous vitals or assessments to a patient's chart.
Device vs. Flowsheets vs. Results data models

Theres some overlap among these data models, but heres what to expect for each:

  • Device data is continuous. The Device data model requires a device ID to match results to a patient's chart.
  • Flowsheet data is continuous. The Flowsheet data model requires a patient ID to match results to a patient's chart.
  • Results data is discrete data that's usually a one-time outcome of an order. The Results data model requires a patient ID to match results to a patient's chart.
