Does anyone know where these files come from/who provided them? There are male and female directories in our EMR client install directory. This is a listing of the male directory. Our site has them in a folder structure of "Clinical Content\peds_growth_data\male (and female)". Our Oklahoma City site has them in "pdg\male (and female)" and the data is formatted a little differently than our older files and has the BP files as shown below.
bmi_age_120 bmi_age_180 bmi_age_240 bmi_age_60 head_circ_36 height_age_120 height_age_180 height_age_240 height_age_60 male_dia male_sys weight_age_120 weight_age_180 weight_age_240 weight_age_60 weight_length_child weight_length_infant
Here is the readme from ours (I can't find a similar readme in current CCC content):
The text files contained within this directory are used by the Pediatric Vital Signs
encounter form to calculate growth percentiles. These percentage data files contain
pipe and comma delimited LMS values and are used for calculations as published
by the CDC at: http:\\www.cdc.gov\nchs\about\major\nhanes\growthcharts\datafiles.htm
If these files are renamed or deleted, the Pediatric Vital Signs encounter form will
display an error to the user stating that the files are missing.
These files are read by the encounter form using the MEL FILEREAD() function. The files
are separated into gender-based folders, and use a naming convention based on the type
of calculation and the age range. For example, the file "..\female\bmi_age_120" contains
data used to calculate body mass index percentiles for children up to 120 months of age.
The format of data is:
L-value|M-value|S-value|ageInMonths,L-value|M-value|S-value|ageInMonths,..., etc.

We have those here - "Clinical Content\peds_growth_data\male (and female)" on CPS 10.1.3.
We dont use growth charts or do pediatrics, so I am pretty sure they just came with the client install.

Michael, are your files dated 2004 or 2007? I did find the file names in the Centricity EMR 9.5.msi file - I had not looked there yet.

Dated 2004, if you have newer ones I dont know where they came from, I dont see anything newer in our client folder

Ok, thanks. Sure appreciate the help. My OKC site has files from 2007 so I'm not sure where those came from - have to investigate further.

There was a set of data that came with an updated Vital signs form. That set was in a "pgd" folder and included percentiles for blood pressure that were not previously there. Any chance someone pulled that in at your other site?

They were Lee Cooper content. We actually have a new vital signs form that uses the GE content and the blood pressure content that was in the Lee Cooper content to show all the percentiles. Getting ready to go live with it this week. We were also able to get new files edited for WHO percentiles. After we get it live I will post the package on CHUG.

Here is a kit with our Pediatric Diabetes Vital Signs form and the directory structure "Clinical Content" that goes inside the EMR client directory. This has code to show Blood Pressure percentiles as well as WHO standard growth percentiles.
