A condition is used to record detailed information about a condition, problem, diagnosis, or other event, situation, issue, or clinical concept that has risen to a level of concern. The condition could be a point in time diagnosis in context of an encounter, it could be an item on the practitioner’s Problem List, or it could be a concern that doesn’t exist on the practitioner’s Problem List. Often times, a condition is about a clinician’s assessment and assertion of a particular aspect of a patient’s state of health. It can be used to record information about a disease/illness identified from application of clinical reasoning over the pathologic and pathophysiologic findings (diagnosis), or identification of health issues/situations that a practitioner considers harmful, potentially harmful and may be investigated and managed (problem), or other health issue/situation that may require ongoing monitoring and/or management (health issue/concern). Reference Table: The condition_references table contains normalized references from the condition to other entities. It supports the following reference properties:
  • subject (required): links to the patient who has the condition
  • encounter: links to the encounter where the condition was recorded
  • recorder: links to the practitioner who recorded the condition
For detailed information about reference table structure and indexing, see the Reference Tables documentation. Condition Table: Primary Keys:
