I would like to edit the Patient Banner that comes with CPS. I do not see this banner in Administration. Does anyone have something similar? I would like to add Isolation status to it.
In Administration go to Chart -> Patient Banner. You will have the ability to change an existing banner, create a new one or remove one. I would suggest making a copy to work on and test.

That part I know. But it seems that the banner we have is not in Administration to edit. I put a ticket in with GE, but have not heard anything yet.
Can you click "new" there and start a new one to edit?
If you can, you can past this code to the blank document to get a start if you want
{PATIENT.LABELNAME} RESPONSIBLE PROVIDER: {PATIENT.RESPPROVID} PATIENT ID: {PATIENT.PATIENTID} Email: {PATIENT.EMAIL} Pharmacy: {REGPHARMACY()}
{PATIENT.FORMATTEDAGE}, {PATIENT.SEX} (DOB: {Patient.DateOfBirth}) Home: {if PATIENT.ALTPHONE = "" then "None" else PATIENT.ALTPHONE endif} Work: {if PATIENT.WORKPHONE = "" then "None" else PATIENT.WORKPHONE endif} Other: {if PATIENT.CELLPHONE = "" then "None" else PATIENT.CELLPHONE endif} Insurance: {INS_PLAN()} Group: {INS_GRP()} Secondary Insurance: {INS_NAME(“S”)}
{if PATIENT.PSTATUS = "X" then "DECEASED: " + PATIENT.DATEOFDEATH else "" endif}{if PATIENT.PSTATUS = "I" then "INACTIVE" else "" endif}{if PATIENT.PSTATUS = "O" then "OBSOLETE" else "" endif}
I think it sounds like your users are using the Standard Banner, this is selected by Chart --> Options --> Preferences --> Patient Charts --> Patient Banner, and then there is a check box to "Use Standard Banner".
As far as I know, you cannot modify this Banner as it is the one GE provides, so you will have to create a new Patient Banner as Terri indicated previously.
The thing to keep in mind after you have created this Banner, you will need to communicate out to your users that they will need to switch their preferences to the new banner that you created. You may have some that won't switch or others that eventually switch back. In order to avoid this problem, I created an SQL script that runs nightly to switch anyone who has a Standard Banner to our custom Default Banner.
Another thing to keep in mind is the size of your new custom Patient Banner, we have monitors/laptops that have large screens and some that have small screens, so I actually have a compressed version of our custom Default Banner for small screens. It doesn't look as nice as the normal Default Banner, but it displays all of the data that our users want to see.
