Does anyone happen to know all the obsterms that will be shown on the CCDA and CVS? We use custom forms and at times, rather than requesting a specific obsterm, we have chosen to use the "best matched" obsterm. That being said, I just got a call from a patient that was upset because her CVS that was sent to the portal showed the obsterm of CTOFPELVISDU The obsterm description was CT scan next due date. We used it as a generic date of when the test was being scheduled and the form was built back in 2006.
She was concerned that her insurance was going to bill her for a CT scan when in fact she had an MRI. I had to explain to her that this was for internal use and would not be going to her insurance. Of course she wants it removed from her record.....Anyone have this happen? Does anyone know the list of obsterms that will go to the CCDA and the CVS so I can make sure this wont happen again??

If you're using the CVS that is a handout it may be pulling OBSHEADs from a flowsheet. You can look at the code for the handout to identify the flowsheet, then modify the flowsheet to add/remove obsterms.
