EPISODE

Description:

This table contains high-level information on the episodes recorded in the clinical system for your patients. When a provider sees a patient several times for an ongoing condition, such as prenatal care, these encounters can be linked to a single Episode of Care. It does not contain episodes linked to an inpatient encounter.

7	PREGRAVID_WEIGHT	NUMERIC	No

8	NUMBER_OF_BABIES	INTEGER	No
	Prior to delivery, this column is expected to contain the number of fetuses that the patient is carrying. This can be manually documented, such as in the Prenatal Vitals section, or the value can be automatically set by creating or removing fetal result tabs in the ultrasound activity. If your organization documents on the Delivery Summary then after the Delivery Summary is signed, this column is expected to contain the number of viable deliveries associated with the pregnancy. Specifically, this is the number of delivery records attached to the pregnancy. This expectation is based on Epic's recommendation that only viable deliveries should be documented on the Delivery Summary. Your organization may follow a different policy for when to create a delivery record. The behavior of this column containing the number of delivery records may be overridden at the profile level in system definitions, in which case it will continue to contain the number of fetuses that were being carried unless the number of deliveries is manually documented in its place.
