Is there a way to extract forms from the emr. I have a non CCC form in my system that I would like to make changes to but do not have the dlg file to use in VFE. I am assuming that this is not possible but I thought I would ask.
Thanks...

Good Afternoon,
I have good news and bad news.
The good news is you can get the form and edit it in VFE. The bad news is that the dlg file doesn't exist in CPS, so you will lose some formatting. Usually it is pretty minimal.
Steps:
Administration Module
System Folder
Export Clinical Kit
(Find the form and export to a known location)
Open VFE
Click "Open"
Navigate to the folder
Change the dropdown option from ".dlg" to ".chk"
You can now make the edits you need and when you save a new DLG file will be created.
I hope this is helpful.
Sincerely,
-James Caswell

I would add to test, test, test the form to make sure functionality and not just formatting didn't get lost.

I have heard that the GE CCC forms are over engineered and that they may lose a bit in their functionality when exporting and editing in VFE. What I have done in the past, is if there is something I like and want to replicate, I will export it and go straight to that function, grab it and test it on my form. Other than that, I won't use the form I exported.
