About Electronic Health Record (EHR) code lists

Designers can take advantage of pre-seeded EHR custom code lists when designing a study that permits site users to import a subject's EHR data.

For more information, see Enable Electronic Health Record (EHR) data import.

Study designers use these code lists to define the options for form questions that are mapped for EHR data import. For example, if you create a question to capture sex and map it to the EHR item Birth Sex, a dialog window opens informing you to use the EHR-Birth Sex code list. This ensures that the EHR system options and the options on the form match, resulting in a successful data import.

Note:

These code lists can also be used with questions that are not mapped for EHR data import.

EHR code lists are associated with specific EHR data dictionary mapping items. The mapping items and their associated code lists are maintained in an Oracle-managed data dictionary.

As a part of each Oracle Clinical One Platform release, Oracle adopts the latest version of the dictionary, which includes updates to existing code lists and the addition of new lists. The dictionary and code lists are backward compatible, meaning existing data items are not removed or changed; only new items are adopted.

The following EHR code lists are available:
  • EHR-Birth Sex
  • EHR-Race
  • EHR-Ethnicity
  • EHR-Lab Test
  • EHR-Body Height Units
  • EHR-Body Weight Units
  • EHR-Body Mass Index Units
  • EHR-Body Surface Area Units
  • EHR-Body Temperature Noninvasive Units
  • EHR-Head Circumference Units
  • EHR-Diastolic Blood Pressure Units
  • EHR-Systolic Blood Pressure Units
  • EHR-Heart Rate Noninvasive Units
  • EHR-Oxygen Saturation Units
  • EHR-Respiratory Rate Units
EHR code lists, like other custom code lists, are only available in English. You can perform the following actions against them.
  • Hide options in an EHR code list.

    If you hide a code list option that you expect the import to select, the import does not populate the question. If necessary, unhide the code list option, then import the data.

  • Download and copy an EHR code list.
  • Add options to an EHR code list.

    Options added to the code list in Oracle Clinical One Platform are not eligible for data import unless the same option is added to the EHR system code list.

  • Update the Order, Label, and Code, but not the Value of an EHR code list option.
  • Limitations:
    • Do not copy EHR code lists; doing so can create issues with EHR mappings during an Oracle Clinical One Platform upgrade.
