Wiki Coding & ROS

[milska54]

I have a question on whether you can use elements from ROS for your exam components? For example, the documentation has 12 elements in ROS and there are only 7 elements in the EXAM component - can you use elements from ROS in the EXAM component to get a comprehensive level? I was always taught that this is wrong, but our coding educatior is telling us that it is allowable.

No you cannot do this. ROS is history reported by the patient, usually answers to question either from the nurse, Doctor, or questionair. Exam the the physician hands on examination of the patient, and observances. These are not interchangeable.
