On a patient's chart, when allergies are reviewed and no known allergies is selected from the patient summary screen, it does not show up anywhere on the forms if you click a button that says "Allergies". The doctors do not like this at all because they don't know if their nurse forgot to check the allergies or not. They would like a pertinent negative.
Has anyone else ran into this and if so, what are you doing to address it?
Thank you,
Cliff

I use this in the allergies data display -
{if (ALL_AFTER() <>
"") then
ALL_AFTER(
"list","dat")
else if (OBSANY(
"NKA")) == "T" then
"<No Known Allergies>"
else
""
endif endif}

I'm sorry for my ignorrance but where do you put that? Is it a quick text?
We are using mostly CCC forms.

In VFE I create a Data display, choose type MEL expression and then paste that code in the box for the connection. I guess I'm a little confused at what you want to do, if you are looking for a quicktext for someone to use and you want it to display either allergies or no known allergies, you could use that as a quick text. If you do not have access to VFE or your not using VFE forms, that is probably your best option.
For us, the physician opens the document and views a 'visit summary' form, which is just a custom VFE form that displays parts of the summary, protocols , and observations relevant to that visit. So that code is part of that form

We had a custom vital signs form made that includes all the reviewed boxes as far as the meds, probs, allergies. we had them add the NKA checkbox to this custom form and seems to be working well.
