Which type of record determines the patient-related information to be evaluated by a OPA?
Criteria
You’ve created an OPA Criteria record, but you are unable to link it to an OPA Base record. What could be the problem?
You did not Release the criteria record.
You’ve built an OPA to suggest a questionnaire for patient enrolled in a high risk program.
All your Criteria records are built correctly and released.
Your OPA Base record is linked to each of the appropriate Criteria, with the correct logic specified.
Your OPA Base record is released.
And yet, when you test your OPA on a qualifying patient, the OPA does not appear. Which setting in the OPA Base record is the issue?
Triggers
True or False: Using a rule, OPAs can be based on a patient’s enrollment in a specific Compass Rose Program.
True
OPA Criteria records are used to evaluate the patient-specific details needed to narrow down the entire patient database to the specific subset of patient for whom the OPA should apply. If there are no Criteria records linked in a OPA Base record, that OPA Base will apply to —————-patients.
ALL
OPA Base records are the foundation, or anchor. It is within a Base record that you specify (link) to Criteria records to determine conditions under which the OPA should appear and specify the follow-up orders or follow-up actions that could be taken from the OPA.
Among other things, the base record controls:
When the OPA should be evaluated by the system (ex: upon order entry and only if the provider is a registered nurse.)
Core properties of the Advisory (ex: the message’s display text and importance level.)
Recommended follow-up orders (ex: a SmartSet.)
Follow-up actions (ex: adding Goals to a patient’s chart.)
OPA Criteria records control the patient-related conditions that must be true for an Advisory to appear to the user.
Criteria records can evaluate a range of patient-related information, but it is also possible to link a criteria to a CER Rule with a context of “Patient OurPractice Advisory” to evaluate an even broader range of information.
While you could create one Criteria record to evaluate multiple conditions, such as both the patient’s medication and recent orders, we recommend that you don’t do that because you’d be creating a uniquely designed OPA Criteria record.
Instead, approach building OPA Criteria records with reusability in mind. That means you should define singular criterion in each record, so the likelihood of reusability is increased.
