Temperature units in NurseCharting

[arjun-subramaniyan]

The units for temperature has been mention under the nursingchartcelltypevalname column there are many values which are over 1000 F and there are some values marked as Fahrenheit while the values lie around 37 clearly showing that it is celsius(Vice versa also exits). This can be corrected by few lines of code, however for outliers such as 560F it is hard to assume whether the decimal point was missed out firstly and then to determine the units. Failing to notice this may create problems.

Yep, this is absolutely something to deal with before analysis. If you've developed any data cleaning code that you could contribute (maybe to pivoted_vital?) that would be great!
