Results with Numeric Data
HL7 results may contain numeric (atomised) data related to test results. If this data is contained within numeric OBX segments, associated with recognised LOINC and test names it will be displayed automatically in a number of places in Clinical.
For example, HDL, HDLCHOLESTEROL, CHOLESTEROLHDL and HDL(PROTECTIVE) results using the LOINC code 14646-4 will be added to the HDL field in the patient's diabetes record and added to the Measures table to be displayed as a Cumulative Result. For further information see Knowledge Base Article MD2-04 - Clinical and HL7 Results – originally written for MD2 it is also relevant to Clinical.
Sequential numeric data may also be viewed in tabular form and displayed in charts by clicking the Cumulative Results button on the results page of the patient's record.
