Calculated values | When the user needs to see a calculated formula, for example to get an idea if it looks reasonable given what was input. A calculated value cannot be edited. |
Quality registries may not be used for the care and treatment of individual patients. Calculated values in registrations are often used to facilitate the input situation and to achieve better data quality.
In the output, the information can be valuable for gaining increased knowledge about outcomes for different patient groups or for quality follow-ups regarding patient cases. However, the information must not be used to make decisions about individual care.
