Testing Report

Resolved Inconsistencies

• Blood pressure systolic and diastolic accepting non-numerical characters.
  • If entered 120s, 80d in corresponding fields, it should save only 120 and 80 respectively. However, 120s/80d is getting stored and retrieved.

• Term "Length" should be added as alternate for Height like Height/Length in Vital screen

As per Brady's statement, since Growth charts are optional, it won't be concentrated as of now.

• [Optional] Growth charts - Remove the age limit.

From Health IT Test procedures

we proposed to remove the age range reference (2-20 years old) from this capability

Here is the test report Version 1. File:Vitals.pdf
