Hi Chug Community,
My Physicians have asked me to include some handouts that they have given me. They want the content and formatting to stay intact. I don't know how this can be done if it requires a template to be created in CPS, (We are on 12.0.13). Is there a way to pull a handout from a folder on a share drive and have it available in the handout custom list in CPS? Thanks for your help

There is not a way to do that, however, you can redesign it pretty easily using this application:

In the EMR version, I have approached this two ways:
(1) Within GE solution. I open the pdf (or image) of the document the person likes, and do a screen capture or use "Snipping Tool' software to grab the image. I then create a new handout, and paste the image into the handout. Sometimes do this for a couple pages. This is a solution we use to make it simpler to find and print immunization VIS pages. The file will then be in the handouts listing.
(2) Outside of GE. Place the document (pdf) on our intranet. In this example, managing our chronic narcotic patients we have many custom handouts. There is then a section on the GE form (designed with VFE) with about ten special handouts, and I have buttons to open each one. The button does a RUNRPOCESS with the following command:
{
RUNSHELLOPEN("http://neintranetprod:8083/tuftsmc_gma/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/naloxone-pamphlet.pdf")
}
Not sure if either of these are truly what you want, but thought I would share just in case it gives you an idea of alternate approaches.

Also, re: #2 I have had some success pushing runshell to a batch command to print the pdf. The benefit there is it will push a print command to the user's default printer and save the steps of printing from the acrobat reader and then closing the reader client every time.

you can also have that RUNPROCESS button count it as an educational handout within CPS but if you are on 12.0.13 you may not care.
