Imagine that you are the HIM director for a pediatric medical practice. The practitioners have asked you to consider a well-child visit for a 12-month-old child and to build a data dictionary to include several data items. During the well-child visit, the practitioners want to document no fewer than the following data elements:
1. The child's:
1. Date of birth
2. Height
3. Weight
4. Temperature
5. Sex
6. Growth percentile
2. Parental reports of (using simple yes/no fields) any issues with the child's:
1. Hearing
2. Vision
3. Speaking
4. Standing/mobility
3. Parental responses (using simple yes/no fields) to the following:
1. Does child have teeth brushed daily?
2. Do any adults in the child's household smoke?
To proceed with the build of your data dictionary, follow the table format shown in the "Maternity Care Data Dictionary" example in this module. Be sure to establish useful attribute names, data types, necessary data lengths, and descriptions.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
3. Also Include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
