A mutual exclusion rule is defined by:
- a name
- a group attribute that defines the set of primary attributes that should not occur together
- an option for whether or not the rule should trigger for the current episode
- a report section into which the comment for current episode conflicts is written
- an option for whether or not the rule should trigger for “historical” mismatches between values in the current episode and values in previous episodes
- an optional cutoff for the number of days that a previous episode must occur in in order to be considered as a possible mutual exclusion violation
- a report section into which the comment for historical mismatches is written.
All of these elements can be edited from this screen, except for the name of the group attribute which can be defined from the Attribute Editor.
