Assessment Setup

The Assessment Setup Code Table is used to create Custom Assessment Actions that can be documented on Page 8 of a chart.

Configuration: Command Fac. > Code Tables > Assessment Setup

You can edit an existing Custom Assessment by selecting one from the list on the left. Create a new Custom Assessment by entering a Custom Assessment Name and selecting a NEMSIS3 SNOMED value by typing into the field and selecting from the picklist that is displayed.

Note: The NEMSIS3 SNOMED values are pulled from the national SNOMED code list and are not customizable.

  • Custom Assessment Name: Enter the name of your Custom Assessment. This is how it will appear in the Assessments Log Action field on Page 8 of the chart.

  • Hidden: Set to 'No' to display the Custom Assessment in the Actions field for the Assessment Action category on Page 8. Set to 'Yes' to hide the Custom Assessment so it does not display.

  • NEMSIS3 SNOMED: Begin typing to see the list of SNOMED codes and choose the appropriate value to be exported with your NEMSIS files.

Click SAVE NEW ASSESSMENT after entering your Custom Assessment Name and choosing a NEMSIS3 SNOMED value. Once the new assessment is saved, you will be able to setup your Custom Questions.
