I have a form I created that tells the user what services a patient is due for. I would like to add a checkbox for Patient Declines. When the box is clicked it would add the obs term of that particular service. Any ideas how to accomplish this?

In theory, not a very difficult thing to do. However, I might caution against this. For instance, if you have a protocol setup to check for a Mammogram every two years, against the OBS MAMMOGRAM, then to put decline in that OBS would:

fool reports into thinking a Mammo was done

limit further follow-up on Mammo for the two year duration of your protocol

Are you sure this is what you want to do?

That's a very good point. The providers asked me if this could be done. I will take this back to them. Thank you for your help Joe.

So, if you want to build a custom entry screen (in VFE), you could use both the "MAMMOGRAM" obs code and the "PT DCLN MAM" (patient declines mammogram) obs code.

With both on-screen, a Doctor could accurately follow-up with the patient.

With both stored, it would be possible to write reports to find patients in need of a Mammogram by excluding MAMMOGRAM for 2 years, and PT DCLN MAM for (perhaps ?) 6 months. I say thins under the premise that a patient's decline probably will not be valid for as long as the actual screening.
