Attached is the list of Primary Symptom (eSituation.09) and Other Associated Symptoms (eSituation.10) accepted by VPHIB. We are committed to being flexible with the submission of symptoms, but need to utilize best practices based upon ICD10-CM diagnosis codes. When an agency determines it needs to collect an symptom that is not listed; a request to add an additional symptom will need to be submitted to OEMS prior to submission. Agencies and software vendors are encouraged to request additional symptom codes as early as possible. Upon request to add an symptom, OEMS will evaluate the request and determine if the requested symptom is duplicate to an existing code or if a better code should be used based on the national EMS data standard. OEMS will take one or more of the following actions when additional symptoms are requested:
Agencies are highly encouraged to avoid creating mappings within their software products when setting up symptom and other lists. Mapping should be a last resort in order to prevent breaking the data standard and having data quality issues. Consult OEMS prior creating any mappings that are connected with the mandatory data element. | ||||
