Purpose

Observation Control can be configured to display all the observation values captured against the configured concepts (and within the configured number of visits). This control also has a provision to add initial and latest observation value (across all visits). The control can display values in a grid (tabular format, one column for each visit) or in section format (one for each visit).

Configuration

Sample Configuration

Add to clinical/dashboard.json for it to appear on the patient dashboard

"someNiceName": { // Any unique name
  "translationKey": "Vitals", // Mandatory. Should be a key from translation file, or just english text to show as title of the control
  "type":"observation", 
  "isObservation": true,
  "dashboardConfig": {   
    "conceptNames": ["Height", "Weight", "BMI", "BMI STATUS"],
    "scope": "latest" or "numberOfVisits": "4", //use either scope attribute or numberOfVisits attribute
    "showGroupDateTime": false   
  } ,
  "expandedViewConfig": {
    "conceptNames": ["Height", "Weight", "BMI", "BMI STATUS"],
    "showDetailsButton": true,
    "pivotTable": {
      "numberOfVisits": "4",
      "groupBy": "encounters",
      "obsConcepts": ["Vitals", "Height", "Weight", "Pathology"],
      "drugConcepts": "",
      "labConcepts": ""
    }
  },
  "hideEmptyDisplayControl": false
}

Key Field Table

Key	Info	Mandatory

Key	Info	Mandatory
translationKey	The name/translation Key(Internationalization) of the control to be displayed as Widget Title in the UI.	Y
conceptNames	The concept names of the concepts that need to be displayed in this widget.	Y
scope	Can be latest/initial/blank. If "latest", then the latest value of the observation across visits is shown. If "initial", then the first value across visits is shown. If a scope is not mentioned, then the number of visits has to be mentioned (numberOfVisits). Otherwise if the scope is blank, then the observation values across all visits are displayed.	N
isObservation	Specifies whether the given section is an observation control or a disease template control. If this is set to true then the section behaves as an observation control.	Y
numberOfVisits	Specifies the number of previous visits for which data has to be displayed on the pivot table	N
groupBy	Can be encounters/visits. If grouped by the encounter, then the data is displayed per encounter in the pivot table. (A patient may have more than one doctor encounter within a visit). If grouped by the visit, then the latest value of the observations in each visit is displayed in the pivot table.	Y
obsConcept	Specify the concept names of the observations that need to be displayed in the pivot table	Y
drugConcept	Specify the concept names of the drugs that need to be displayed in the pivot table	Y
labConcept	Concept names of the lab tests that need to be displayed in the pivot table	Y
dashboardConfig	Indicates the configuration for the dashboard (Section Sub-Group)	Y
expandedViewConfig	Indicates the configuration for the details page (All Observations Page)	Y
showDetailsButton	Configuration to display audit information when '+ ' sign is clicked. If set to false, the '+' button will not be displayed.	N
showGroupDateTime	Configuration to display grouped encounter date time. If set to false, it is hidden. Default value is true (which means it is treated as true, if nothing specified). Should be separately configured for both dashboard and allDetails page	N
hideEmptyDisplayControl	Hides the display control if there are no recorded values present for it when set to true, default value is set to false	N

Initial And Latest Observations

Sample configuration

"atAdmission": {
 "type": "observation",
 "title": "At Admission",
 "config": {
 "conceptNames": ["Weight", "Height", "BMI"],
 "scope": "initial"
 }
}
"atDischarge": {
 "type": "observation",
 "title": "At Discharge",
 "config": {
 "conceptNames": ["Weight"],
 "scope": "latest"
 }
}

Nutritional Values Control

This is an example of an Observation Control

Sample configuration

"nutritionalValues": {
	"type": "observation",
	"isObservation": true,
	"dashboardConfig": {
		"conceptNames": ["Height (cm)","Weight (kg)","BMI Data"],
		"numberOfVisits": 1
	},
	"displayOrder": 1,
	"translationKey": "DASHBOARD_TITLE_NUTRITIONAL_VALUES_KEY",
     "hideEmptyDisplayControl": false
},
