Status

Proposal

  • (EMR Direct feature is complete and committed to 4.1.2 codebase)
  • The mechanism to transmit is in place, however still need to create the summary (per standard)
  • Note that the smoking status needs to include the SNOMED codes that are mapped to them (these are mapped in the Administration->Lists->Smoking Status)
