Creating Precise Clinical Statements with ANF

Identification of health factors and/or other data points for conversion to ANF statement – Health Factors should be grouped into categories that group together common documentation (i.e. allergy review, pressure injury assessment, admission screening).  Once grouped together, health factors should then be approached in groups to produce ANF statements. 

Dissemination/chunking of health factors to specify different data points – Once the health factors are grouped together, each health factor should be disseminated further into separate data points, or “chunks.”  

Conversion of chunks/data points into ANF statement -Dissemination of health factors into chunks allows those translating health factors into ANF statements to more easily identify the separate chunks of the health factor to appropriately convert to a health factor.  Depending on the properties of the chunk, each chunk will only be categorized into appropriate categories of the ANF statements.
