DSM data

This page is about the data elements we receive from DSM. We send them a request, the provide us the DSM Lab Extract, and we have an import process that stores a subset of the data in the L_Labs_DSM table using DSM Labs Consistency check.accdb.

The data in DSM Lab Extract contains one or more lines per any test performed for patients who are in our unit at any point in their stay. Our statistician can extract additional lab info from this as needed if we don't store it in general. We store results for the following tests.
