We have a patient education form that has a button that will bring you to Truven to print the patient education form linked to that specific problem. It is mapped to the correct code (Add_MUActivity_Log(12,str)) so it does go to our CQR system to count towards the measure. However, it does not document the patient education in the patients chart.
We want to be able to document it in the chart in case of an audit. Has anyone had success with this or has a form that they would be willing to share?
We do not want the chart note simply to say that patient education was printed but to say what was printed. Similar to how it would look if you printed it from the patients medication, problem, or flow sheet.
thank you

What does the code that prints your handouts look like?
The code that prints our handouts look like this:
{fn PrintMUHandout(hand){
PRINTHANDOUT(hand)
ADD_MUACTIVITY_LOG(12,find("_UserSearch","loginname","RealName",Document.provider),"Handout Printed: " + hand)
}
}

We are having the same issue. Once we print the handout the link appears in the chart. If you could share your thoughts it would be appreciated.
I reached out to Care Notes and created a support ticket to ask why the link does not open to the patient education information handout. No response.

Ours looks like this:
PRINTHANDOUT(strProblemHandout1)
Add_MUActivity_Log(12,str(USER.LOGINNAME),strProblemHandout1)
DOCUMENT.printhandout1 = "TRUE"

When you say it is not documenting in the chart, are you expecting something in the current chart note or are you expecting a copy of the handout to be in the patients chart? I am assuming it is the latter, in which case each user has a handout setting that needs to be checked.
I am not sure about CPS, but in CEMR you can get to the handout settings by clicking the handout button while in a chart. You can then choose any handout and check the box that says "Record handout printing in Chart". We have our users change the "User" to the provider they are working under so that the provider gets credit. (I'm not sure if that is a necessary step or not) You can then press close without printing the handout and that setting will be saved for the user. There is another way to get to the same settings but I don't remember how.

Thank you for taking the time to review this issue with me I appreciate it. So if we print the patient education using the "I" button it allows you to check the box that leaves the pathway of the letter in the chart. This is what we will need in case of an audit to prove that we actually printed it for the patient.
When we use the new form it brings you to the Truven website to print the correct handout but does not allow you the option to record it in the chart.
I could simply put in an obs term that would document a handout was provided but I wanted actual proof that we did it by having the pathway in the chart.
Hopefully this makes sense.
Thank you,
