Overview

MU Requirements

Per ONC

Taken from ONC Final Rule:File:2014 Edition Cert Federal Register.pdf
(4) Vital signs, body mass index, and growth charts. (i) Vital signs. Enable a user to
electronically record, change, and access, at a minimum, a patient’s height/length, weight, and
blood pressure. Height/length, weight, and blood pressure must be recorded in numerical values
only.
(ii) Calculate body mass index. Automatically calculate and electronically display body mass
index based on a patient’s height and weight.
(iii) Optional—Plot and display growth charts. Plot and electronically display, upon request,
growth charts for patients.

Per ONC/NIST Final Test Methods

Testing Report

Following Inconsistencies found in Vitals.
  • Blood pressure systolic and diastolic accepting non-numerical characters.
    • If entered 120s, 80d in corresponding fields, it should save only 120 and 80 respectively. However, 120s/80d is getting stored and retrieved.
From Health IT Test procedures

Height/length, weight, and blood pressure must be recorded in numerical values only.
i.e., alphabetic characters such as “lbs,” “kg,” or “cm” would not be permitted to include 
as part of the value recorded.
  • Term "Length" should be added as alternate for Height like Height/Length in Vital screen
From Health IT Test procedures

We also proposed to add the alternative term “length” to go with “height” 
as it is the clinically appropriate term for newborns and assisted in 
clarifying the intent of the “vital signs” capability.”
  • [Optional] Growth charts - Remove the age limit.
From Health IT Test procedures

we proposed to remove the age range reference (2-20 years old) from this capability

Here is the test report. File:Vitals.pdf
