Configuring and extending features on the Patient 360 profile

Updated on May 11, 2021

You can configure features on the Patient 360 profile to meet your business needs. Use the Care Management Configuration page to configure a number of features, from modifying the patient to-do list to setting the categories of Social Determinants of Health for tracking.

The following topics include configuration steps:

  • Extending the header status in the member profile in the Patient 360
  • Patient header data pages
  • Changing the setting for locking patient notes in the Patient 360
  • Changing the source on the Patient Risk Score data page in the Patient 360
  • Configuring recent vital items for display in the Patient 360 banner
  • Configuring the to-do list in the Patient 360
  • Recent activity

Extending the header status in the member profile in the Patient 360

You can modify the when rule to change the number of days that a patient's discharge status from the hospital is displayed on the Patient 360 header. The default value is 90 days.

For more information about when rules, see When Condition rules.
  1. In the header of Dev Studio, enter IsDischargeDuration.
  2. Open the when rule in the PegaHC-Care-Work class.
  3. Change the numeric value to equal the number of days for the patient status to display in the header.
  4. Click Save as.

Patient header data pages

The patient header is an introductory section of the Patient 360 view and contains preliminary information about the patient such as name, gender, date of birth, age, address, and spoken language. There is a SHOW MORE link at the bottom of the patient header which expands the patient header with more information on it. You can use these data pages to customize the patient header.

  6. Click Save, and then click Check in.

Changing the source on the Patient Risk Score data page in the Patient 360

The Patient Risk Score is a health risk score value for the patient which is calculated based on client-defined methodology. Different organizations might choose to have different ways of storing and displaying patient score. Modify the source on the PatientRiskScore data page to indicate how your organization calculates patient risk scores.

Patient risk scores are calculations that are used to identify the risk levels of patients. Typically, patients are classified as high-, medium-, or low-risk. Additionally, risk scores are created to review risks in various areas such as readmission risk or future risk of an event happening in a certain time period, for example, three, six, or twelve months.

By consistently using the patient risk score, you segment the patient population into manageable categories. Low- and medium-risk members might be managed by using email, tests, or electronic coaching. High-risk members need person-to-person interaction with a care manager. Risk scores are dynamic and case managers can measure patient progress through the decrease or increase in their risk score.

  1. In the navigation pane of Dev Studio, click App.
  2. Enter and search for the PegaHC-Data-RiskScore class.
  3. Click Data ModelData PageD_PatientRiskScore.
    Patient risk score data page
  4. Save the data page to your implementation-layer ruleset.
    For more information, see Data pages.
  5. In the Data sources section, in the Source list, select how to populate the patient risk score.
    For example: If the patient risk scores come from an external system, you might select a connector or a data transform.
  6. Based on the Source method that you select, update the fields to describe how you are getting information or calculating information for the patient risk score.
  7. Click Save, and then click Check in.

Configuring recent vital items for display in the Patient 360 banner

You can configure the items that you want to display as recent vital readings in the banner of the Patient 360.

Because look-up data pages do not support dynamic class referencing, you need to save the D_RecentVitals rule in the appropriate implementation-layer class context so that the data page can fetch the implementation-layer specific data. Otherwise, the look-up fails and the data page does not return any data.

  1. In the header of Dev Studio, click ConfigureCare Management Configuration.
  2. Click the Patient events tab.
  3. In the Recent vitals section, click the plus sign icon to add a row.
  4. In the Vital column, enter a value for a vital sign and then select it from the list that appears.
    For example: You might enter Glucose.
  5. In the Display name column, enter the name that you want to display for the vital sign.
    The value in the Code column is filled in.
  6. Click Save and Close.
    To fetch the recent vital signs from the configuration page, use the D_RecemtVitalsProfile data page. The parameter is MemberID. For more information, see Data pages.

Configuring the to-do list in the Patient 360

To meet your organization's business needs, you can define additional cases that you want to display in the patient to-do-list. For example, you might want to add the Discharge worksheet case.

The patient to-do list includes a list of the tasks (cases) that are associated with the patient. Each record has a Begin button to start the task. If you leave the task without finishing it, the button label changes to Continue, which allows you to resume the work where you left it. Along with the other cases, task cases that occur with a start date in the next 7 days are also displayed in the to-do list.

By default, Pega Care Management displays the following cases in the patient to-do-list:

  • Prior authorization
  • Admission
  • Admission notification
  • Program referral
  • Task
  • Case conference
  • Visit
  • Discharge Plan
  • Concurrent review
  • UM Case
  • Incident
  • MTM
  1. In the header of Dev Studio, click ConfigureCare Management Configuration.
  2. On the Care Management Application configuration page, click the drop-down arrow at the right of the tabs, and click Patient events.
  3. In the To do list cases section, click the Add a row icon.
  4. In the new field, click and press the Down arrow to display a list of class names for case types.
    For example: If you are adding Discharge worksheet case, select the PegaHC-Care-Work-DischargeWorksheet class to display the discharge worksheet cases on the patient to-do list.
  5. Click Save.
    To fetch the cases that are related to a patient, use the D_MemberToDoListCases data page. For more information, see Data pages.

Suppressing non-automated resolution tasks in the patient task list in the Patient 360

You can suppress tasks from appearing in the patient task list by modifying the when rule. Some tasks that appear in the patient task list are not automatically resolved. This occurs when you create a task and do not select the Auto resolve check box. For example, you might suppress an email task.
