Dynamic Datagrids is a new feature that allows users to create data capture interfaces using a low-code tool. These interfaces can be embedded into longitudinal health profiles and encounter forms, making it easier for healthcare professionals to collect and manage member data.
With Dynamic Datagrids, users can create custom data entry forms by selecting and arranging fields using a drag-and-drop interface. The fields can include a variety of data types, such as text, numbers, dates, and checkboxes. Users can also define validation rules to ensure data accuracy and completeness.
One of the key benefits of Dynamic Datagrids is its flexibility. Users can create multiple forms for different types of data, and they can add or remove fields as needed. This allows healthcare professionals to capture the data they need to make informed decisions about member care.
Dynamic Datagrids can be embedded into longitudinal health profiles, which provide a comprehensive view of a member’s health history over time. This allows healthcare professionals to track changes in a member’s health status over time.
The feature can also be embedded into encounter forms, which are used to document a member’s visit to a healthcare provider. By capturing data in real-time, healthcare professionals can make more informed decisions during the visit and provide better care.
Creating and Managing Dynamic Datagrids
To modify or create encounter form sections, navigate to the “Clinical Assets” from below Administration in the dashboard side panel.
If you already have a Dynamic Datagrid that you would like to edit, click the “Edit” link adjacent to the name. If not, click on the “Create New” button to create a new Datagrid.

If creating a new Dynamic Datagrid, several selections are required to get started:
- Choose Type
- Tabular
- This datagrid intends to allow entry where multiple records of data of the same format will be expected
- Multi-row
- This datagrid intends to allow entry where only one record of data is expected
- Tabular
- Name
- Description
- Status (by default: newly created Datagrids will be in the “Active” status, if you wish to disable them at a later time, this status can be changed to “Disabled”)
- Show in Health Profile – when selected, the datagrid will be made available within the Health Profile tab of the longitudinal member record

Building Tabular Dynamic Datagrids
Tabular Datagrids are useful where entry is expected to consist of multiple records of data. The authorship interface is divided into three main components.
- A panel where fields can be created, ordered and edited
- A preview panel of the tabular interface
- Field order can be adjusted via drag and drop within this panel
- A preview panel of the data entry and editing interface
- Field order can be adjusted via drag and drop within this panel

Building Multi-Row Dynamic Datagrids
Multi-row Datagrids are useful where entry is expected to consist of a single record of data. The authorship interface is divided into two main components.
- A panel where fields can be created, ordered and edited
- A preview panel of the data entry and editing interface
- Field order can be adjusted via drag and drop within this panel

Creating and Editing Fields
Datagrids can consist of multiple types of user input. Creating user input structures starts by setting up fields. Curitics Dynamic Datagrids support a wide degree of fields types including:
- Text Input (a single-line free-form text input)
- Textarea (a multi-line free-form text input)
- Single Select (selection of a single predefined response)
- Multi Select (selection of multiple predefined responses)
- Date (entry of a date)
- Look-Up (the ability to search a master data set)
- Calculated (a calculation based upon user entry)
- Electronic Signature

Additionally, users can check the “Ideal” choice option whereby the response will be defaulted in the datagrid.
Configuring Suspect Condition Generation
Suspect conditions can be generated based upon inputs to Dynamic Datagrids. Options to generate suspects are available in the following fields types
- Text Inputs
- Single Select
- Multi Select
Adding Suspects within Text Fields
The suspecting interface will be modified if the Text Field is either set to capture text or integer values.
For integer values: multiple suspect rules can be configured for a single field. Two comparison values are selectable in the dropdown “If value entered is”. Users can choose between “Equals” for an exact match to the entered value or “Between” for a range match. If “Between” is selected two additional inputs are present to specify the minimum and maximum value for the range. The suspect can then be chosen by searching the ICD-10 library.
![](https://curiticshealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/image-55.png)
For string values: interface supports the ability to generate suspects on the basis of user entry equaling or not equaling an inputted value.

Adding Suspect within Single and Multi Select Fields
Suspecting rules can be configured to trigger on the basis of selections within single and multi select fields as well. To configure rules, choose the response value and look-up the ICD-10 code within the search interface.
