Are there any age limitations on patients who can be risk assessed?
In order to transmit the information and perform a risk calculation, Patients must be between one year and 89 years old. A patient must be at least one year old, and in answering questions, you should take into consideration only the time after the date of birth (i.e., do not count prenatal time). For patients over age 89, the OHIS™ (RiskCalculator™) is still accurate, but in order to remain HIPAA-compliant in transmitting the information, you need to adjust the Exam Date to change the patient’s age. See the Medical Privacy topic in the Users; Guide for more details about patients age 90 and over.
