Hello,

Our GI group is currently going preparing for a survey by AAAHC. One of the new requirements is to provide the patient with a pre and post procedure medication list. In addition to giving them the list, you have to be able to recreate it as well.

We have been testing a workflow, but it's causing efficiency issues. We open both notes at the start of the procedure. For the handout workflow we are using to work, our nurse would need to complete her initial HP form, sign it, then open the procedure form which includes her admit pieces. It's not working well and we can't recreate the handout if we needed to.

We're toying with a pre letter and then a post letter, but don't know if it's the best solution.

Has anyone worked with a problem like this? Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you in advance for any assistance!

Have a great Friday,

Vicky

You could store the pre-surgery medication list in an obsterm. That way you can recreate it and pull it in when they need it.

That's a great suggestion. I never done that. Is there an easy way to get all meds into an OBS term or do you have to type them in again?

Sure, I would do it like this,

Code Panel -

{!fn Active_Meds(full){

local hold = getfield(full,"|","")

local temp

local rslt = ""

for i = 1, i <= size(hold), i = i + 1 do

temp = getfield(hold[i],"^","")

if (rslt <> "") then

rslt = rslt + ","

endif

rslt = rslt + temp[1]

endfor

return rslt

}

}

Listbox Dynamic Connection - (Variable type DOCUMENT, name PRE_MEDLIST)

{Active_Meds(MEDS_AFTER("DELIMITED"))}

Action Button - Label SAVE

{OBSNOW("PREOP MEDS",DOCUMENT.PRE_MEDLIST)}

The workflow would be to check the meds from the med list and then click a "Save pre-procedural meds" button to save it to the observation term. You probably wouldnt need a save button but since you want a snapshot in this case I think it makes sense. You could pretty easily add an open edit field for Other meds to if necessary. Let me know if you need anything else.
