Update Truform Integrations for Medical History

If the integrations were improved, we would be able to utilize the Truforms more effectively and save hours each day from manually entering the information or changing erroneous integrations.

Currently PBHS Truforms allow integration into OMSVision. The demographics integrates well, but the medical history section integrates with terminology that a dentist or physician would not use, or wording that does not correspond to the question on the patient questionnaire.

For example, if someone selects "Bleeding tendency/abnormal bleed?" on the form, it will integrate as "blood bleeding tendancy." In the integration, tendancy is misspelled and should be "tendency," and the term "blood bleeding tendancy" would never be used by a health professional. Instead, it should integrate as "bleeding tendency."

An example of an integration not completely matching the question is if a patient selects "Osteoporosis/osteopenia," it will integrate as "osteoporosis." In this case, terminology is fine, but the patient could actually have osteopenia and not osteoporosis, which would lead to inaccurate medical records. Instead, it should integrate as "osteoporosis or osteopenia" to match the question. There are other more subtle changes (eg. immune system problem-->immunocompromised, high blood pressure-->hypertension, etc.). I have attached a list of some suggested changes. There are likely other integrations that can be improved, but these are the integrations that we use.
