Use Two Most Recent Measurements in Calculating Risk Factor 131 for Pregnant Women

Contents Show

Business Rule: USETWOMOSTRECENTMESUREMENTSRF131P

When risk factors are assigned, Risk Factor 131 may be assigned using two different formulas for pregnant women.

The business rule enables the state to define that Risk Factor 131 is calculated by a formula that uses the pregnant woman's two most recent height and weight measurements.

Y

If business rule USETWOMOSTRECENTMESUREMENTSRF131P = Y and the pregnant participant is over 13 weeks gestation, the system retrieves the last two height and weight measurements. If the last two measurements are at least 7 days apart, the system uses those measurements for assigning Risk Factor 131. The system determines what the average weekly weight gain is between these two values, and if that weight gain is less than the expected weight gain (the threshold values) for the participant, Risk Factor 131 is system-assigned to the certification.

N

The system will assign this risk factor to pregnant women (current pregnancy) when a single baby is expected and any weight measurement during the pregnancy certification puts the mother below the "Low" curve on the Pregnancy growth grid.
