SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill enables clinicians and AI workflows to derive standardized pneumonia severity scores from FHIR resources to inform disposition and treatment planning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Score computation: calculate CURB-65, PSI/PORT, and A-DROP scores from Patient, Observation, and Condition data.
  • Disposition guidance: classify pneumonia as CAP/HAP/VAP and generate evidence-based disposition recommendations.
  • ClinicalImpression generation: create a FHIR ClinicalImpression resource documenting severity, disposition, and empirical therapy notes.
  • Use case: A clinician asks to assess severity for a CAP patient; the tool returns scores and recommended care pathway.

Quick Start

Provide a patient identifier to calculate CURB-65, PSI/PORT, and A-DROP scores and generate a disposition and empiric therapy plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I calculate pneumonia severity scores from FHIR resources?

To calculate pneumonia severity scores from FHIR resources, provide a patient identifier so the tool can query Patient demographics, Condition comorbidities, and Observation vitals and labs to compute CURB-65, PSI/PORT, and A-DROP scores automatically.

What is the difference between CURB-65, PSI, and A-DROP scoring for pneumonia disposition?

CURB-65, PSI/PORT, and A-DROP are distinct severity scoring systems applied to CAP, HAP, and VAP contexts, combined with ATS/IDSA criteria to generate evidence-based ICU disposition and empiric therapy recommendations.

Can I generate a FHIR ClinicalImpression resource for pneumonia severity assessment?

Yes, you can generate a FHIR ClinicalImpression resource documenting pneumonia severity scores, care pathway disposition, and empiric therapy notes by processing Patient, Encounter, Condition, and Observation data.

Does this tool support CAP, HAP, and VAP classification for ICU disposition?

Yes, it classifies pneumonia as CAP, HAP, or VAP and applies ATS/IDSA criteria alongside CURB-65, PSI, and A-DROP scores to determine if ICU disposition is required.

What FHIR data do I need to assess pneumonia severity and determine treatment recommendations?

You need FHIR Patient demographics, Condition resources for comorbidities, Observation resources for vitals and labs, and Encounter data to satisfy the data requirements for robust scoring and treatment recommendations.

When should I not rely on automated pneumonia severity scoring for clinical decision support?

Automated pneumonia severity scoring should supplement, not replace, clinical judgment when FHIR Observation or Condition data is incomplete, as missing vitals or labs may compromise robust scoring logic and safe output generation.
