Process Overview: Creating Precise Clinical Statements with ANF
Identification of Health Factors and/or other data points for conversion to ANF statement – Health Factors should be converted based on categories that group together common documentation (i.e. allergy review, pressure injury assessment, admission screening). These grouping should be assessed as a whole as some Health Factor names have implicit meaning based on the category they belong to.
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.”
Team members deconstruct prioritized Health Factors by logical topic
Team members discuss and record their rationale for their deconstructions
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.
