The Clinical Knowledge database is used to view education documents based on the patient's lab results, medications, prescriptions, and active and resolved problems. LOINC codes must be entered on lab items and associated reference range for the item in order to pull to the display list. In addition, Clinical Knowledge provides Truven data, which looks at the age, gender, and language to narrow down documents that are relevant to that patient. To access, select Clinical Knowledge from the Patient Education Documents Main Menu. These documents will also be available in the Patient Portal. When Clinical Knowledge documents are saved, the SNOMED codes that are attached to a document are saved and can then be used by other applications such as Quality Measures.

 

NOTE: There is a way for sites to access additional/greater content, purchased from Truven™, through TruBridge EHR. For more information, contact a TruBridge EHR support representative.
