Patient Assessments

Patient assessments are designed to capture patient information for a particular condition (such as COPD Assessment) or service (such as an Emergency Room, Hospital or Physician Office Visit). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) developed a Health Risk Assessment (HRA) designed for the Medicare Annual Wellness Visits.

For Managing Health, the following assessments (or methods for capturing patient data will be developed:

• Managing Health Assessment is designed to understand the patient by documenting their current determinants and interventions.
• Well-Being Assessment is designed to capture the patient's goals (quality of life, care goals), care plan (goals, determinants, interventions, care team) and ensure alignment (patient, caregiver, physician, care team).
• Well-Being Status is designed to document daily status (how are you feeling, symptoms), actions (what happened?, what didn't happen?) and changes (symptoms, barriers, goals, determinants, interventions, plans).

Other Referenced Assessments:
