We added an action button to all of our forms to automatically print the Clinical Visit Summary at the end of the visit.
Unfortunately, the reports do not seem to be counting those.
Is anyone doing anything besides just going to the Handouts to print these off? We were trying to make it as easy as possible on the providers.
Thanks

Are you EMR 9.5?
If yes, have you installed SP 2?
We have verified since SP 2 (patch resolved auditing of handout printing within a form button vs. EMR handout button) that our VFE button that prints the handout is counting on the Crystal Report. MQIC will be determined after March - May data dump.
VFE Button > Run Process > PRINTHANDOUT("Handouts\Enterprise\Clinical Visit Summary")

thanks for the response
not sure if we are on SP 2 or not, but will check
If we have not applied the update as far as Crystal reports go, will it "go back" and get history of those having occurred? Do you think MQIC will?

No, it will not go back as the patch resolves the PRINTHANDOUT data symbol audit event.
You could change the workflow (per documented MU release notes) for users to print the handout via handout button within the in progress update.
Or install SP 2 ASAP. Key consideration is this update may take up to 6 hours (although our 300 GB DB patch completed in less than 2 hours).
Also, noticed a few posts stating to hold of SP 2 as "errors" are appearing sporadically?

Caution: There have been reported issues with EMR SP2. See the thread linked below.

be sure that in your patient instructions handout in the handouts folder, that you have the mu coding that needs to be at the bottom of the handout. it's just coding and does not show in the printed version of the clinical summary, but it makes all the difference.

I was wondering if you would be able to email me how you added the action button to automatically print the Clinical Visit Summary. My email is [email protected]. Thank you

I would be interested as well...especially about the 'special coding at the bottom' that makes all the difference.

If on EMR 9.5 SP 2 or SP 3 you should be able to modify your VFE form with an action button > Connection Type RUNPROCESS > PRINTHANDOUT("Handouts\Enterprise\Clinical Visit Summary")

Has anyone re-written the getflowsheet funtion to successfully pull the last 3 days of labs? We consistently throw bad index errors in the CCC-Patient instructions handout as well as the CVS from GE. Only consistency is the function as they both call different flowsheets.

The below modified MEL is working for us:
{fn fnCVS_LabTestResults()
{local list = ""
local sz, i, dt, tody, lab, dtbegin, dur, firstfilled
local lablist
local isDate
local labs = GET_FLOWSHEET_VALUES('Enterprise\Interfaces\CCD\Diagnostic Results')
if labs <> "" then
lablist = getfield(labs, "\n", "")
sz = 0+size(lablist)
list = ""
firstfilled = 0
for i = 1, i <= sz, i = i + 1 do
dt = ""
tody = str(._todaysdate)
lab = lablist[i]
if size(lab) > 11 then
dtbegin = size(lab) -11
dt = sub(lab, dtbegin, 10)
//need to confirm that the substring dt is really a date
if (sub(dt, 7, 2) == '20' AND sub(dt, 6, 1) == "/" AND sub(dt, 3, 1) == "/") then
isDate = true
else
isDate = false
endif
dur = durationdays(dt, tody)
if dur < 4 and isDate then
if firstfilled==0 then
firstfilled=1
list = list + cfmt("Labs and Tests received in the past 3 days:","B","\r\n","", "\r\n", "")
endif
list = list + lab +"\r\n"
else
list = list
endif
else
list = list
endif
endfor
else
list=""
endif
return list
}}{fnCVS_LabTestResults()}

We are on CPS 9.5 (no service packs) and also found that the handouts printed from handouts buttons in VFE forms were not counting toward out MU numbers. As we have no definite date for install of SP1 which resolves the issue, we built a letter titled Clinical Visit Summary. Note: if you follow the letter workflow, we also found that the letters printed will not count toward MU either if they are customized then printed from the Customize screen (known issue with GE, no SPR date yet).
