Topic starter

I want to create a checkbox in a form that the provider did a developmental screening on pediatric patients during the well child visit. What would be the best Observation term to use for this? I found many specific OBS terms for developmental assessment but I am hoping to find a more general one..

Thanks, Jude

If the observation term you want does not exist, go here to get the observation term request form:

https://digital.gehealthcare.com/s/hcd-resourceinfo/a6I340000004vTBEAY/cmp00252#obs

After submitting your request, you'll have your new obs term in a couple of days.

Hello.

You have a choice:

(a) Pick a code that you are currently not using, even if the Description does not exactly match. Just important to make sure you are not using it elsewhere.

(b) Request a new code, as someone already suggested.

From my own use of codes and building VFE screens, I use both methods.

If I want to do something now only involving a couple of codes and can find close codes, I usually just use the existing codes. There are probably 70k codes configured.

However, if I am designing a new form with lots of needed codes, then I will request through the GE process. I just know that it will take a few days for GE to create and send me a kit, and then I need to schedule a time to upload the kit. Note - we often do these once each month when we do the monthly KB update.
