Testing Report

Resolved Inconsistencies

  • 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.
  • Term "Length" should be added as alternate for Height like Height/Length in Vital screen

As per Brady's statement, since Growth charts are optional, it won't be concentrated as of now.

  • [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

Inconsistencies found[2/10/2014]

  • BMI calculation vary from the expected result by 0.1.
    -- Agreed to the point the Brady discussed in forum thread. BMI calculation in test data is not appropriate.
  • This is a calculation error in the testing script, so this is a PASS. The correct BSI of 168 centimeters and 62 kilograms is 22.0, not 21.9. See this link for more details:
