Clinical Instructions

New UI Visit Encounter (valid RC202109+)

Original Visit Encounter

Using the Vitals section of the encounter, ensure blood pressure is recorded correctly and the systolic and diastolic observations are coded with the appropriate LOINC (i.e., 8480-6 and 8462-4). The patient also needs a diagnosis of hypertension under the Symptoms/Diagnosis section of the encounter, within the first six months or more of the measurement period in order to populate the denominator.

  1. While documenting the encounter, ensure the blood pressure is recorded under the Vitals section of the encounter.
  2. Patient must have a diagnosis of hypertension under the Symptoms/Diagnosis section of the encounter.
  3. Continue documenting the encounter as appropriate.
  4. When complete, Close and Archive the encounter.
