Data Element Information
Use Case Description(s)
Use Case Description A 24 year old female is being transported to a hospital for abdominal pains. During her transport she indicated that she is several weeks pregnant so the transport team makes sure to bring her to a hospital that has OBGYN capability. When she is in the hospital that pregnancy status indicator helps inform the providers to do some tests to make sure this pain is not related to her pregnancy and to avoid procedures that may have negative effects on the fetus.
Estimate the breadth of applicability of the use case(s) for this data element This indication of pregnancy can be important for a variety of health care providers to help make informed decisions for the care of a patient. This would be captured and used in by any provider that creates or utilizes a patient electronic health record. This also may be populated by the patient in a personal record or at an appointment.
