Managing Population Definitions

The Population Builder utility allows you to create and manage population definitions, including specifying criteria. The tagged encounters can then be pushed to Axiom Intelligence for reporting capability.

The Population Builder displays a home page with a list of the definitions used by your organization. From here, you can add, edit, archive, and delete them. You can also easily activate/deactivate and enable/disable Axiom Intelligence reporting for each definition as well as launch the Population Analysis report directly from the utility.

The list displays the definition name and description as well as who created it, the number of encounters tagged with the definition criteria, and when the definition was last processed. Check marks in the Active and Axiom Intelligence columns allow you to easily see which definitions are active for processing and pushed to Axiom Intelligence.

COVID-19 patient population definitions

As part of the 2020.1 release, we included the following pre-defined population definitions specific to COVID-19:

• COVID-19 Cases
• COVID-19 Deaths
• Exposure to COVID-19
• Signs & Symptoms of COVID-19

These population definitions were used to create the new COVID-19 Population and Utilization Analysis Dashboard, but you can also reconfigure these definitions to meet your needs and/or use them to create and customize other Axiom Intelligence reports for your organization.

Searching for definitions

In the Search Definitions field, type information specific to the definition, including the name, description, and the last processed date. The table will filter the list based on the definitions that meet the search requirements.
