Infermedica

This page contains relevant information regarding the Infermedica triage dispositions, triage configurations and outcomes.

Infermedica Dispositions:

Infermedica has a 5-level triage. The disposition is included in the triage results.

  • emergency_ambulance – the reported symptoms are serious and the patient can require emergency care. The patient should call an ambulance right now,
  • emergency – the reported evidence appears serious and the patient should go to an emergency department. If the patient can't get to the nearest emergency department, he/she should call an ambulance,
  • consultation_24 – the patient should see a doctor within 24 hours. If the symptoms suddenly get worse, the patient should go to the nearest emergency department,
  • consultation – the patient could require medical evaluation and would need to schedule an appointment with a doctor. If symptoms get worse, the patient should see a doctor immediately,
  • self_care – a medical consultation isn't strictly required; the patient should observe their symptoms and consult a doctor if symptoms worsen within 24 hours.

Infermedica Triage Configurations and Outcomes

You can pass an optional configuration object to the Infermedica triage when extending triage in a custom scenario. The configurations override any options you have set in the management portal (Configuration > Medical > Triage).

Screenshot of passing arguments to Infermedica subscenario

When passing the arguments to the Infermedica scenario, you only need the path to the configuration property and the new value (you don't need to include the other information such as the doc or the default). For example, to disable the message that shows the possible causes, you would pass this configuration:


"configuration": {
    "causes":{
        "show_causes": false
    }
}

Below is the full list of the available configurations.
