Understanding Health Information

You can track health and medical exam data for every individual in your database. Use the pages described in this section to set up physicians and diagnosis codes, identify accommodation requests due to health and disability requirements, and enter various health exam and results for individuals.

Before you can enter health data, you must set up health data codes and tables.

See Setting Up Diagnosis Codes.

Note: If you are implementing separate instances of your PeopleSoft Campus Solutions and PeopleSoft HCM systems, you should read the additional documentation describing those integrations. Certain items and features that are detailed in this documentation may vary depending on how you configure your systems. The CS-HCM Integration Information Knowledge Document in My Oracle Support details the additional documents that describe the setup, functional, and technical implementation considerations.
