Hi,
I'm trying to create a history view that includes handouts printed for each patient. I saw that there is no obs term attached to the clinical list change when you mark off record handout printing in chart, so I was wondering if there were some symbol or MEL I could use. thanks

How do you create a history view? Where do you view it?
Thanks!

You create a history view in go/setup/settings/chart. You view it in the patient's chart under the history tab, there's a drop down to change the view type.

I see how/where to create/edit these. Where can I go to learn about the formatting for history views? I see a lot of blue margins that enhance the look. How do you create a view like this from scratch?

Honestly, I'm not sure how you would create a history view like the default system view. I tried to export the system history view & open it in VFE to take a look at the formatting, but got an error message when I tried to open it & did not have time to look at it further. But you can create them using MEL language with obs terms and system symbols.

I have found the easiest way to create a history view is in word. You create the view and then plug in the coding all within word. Then you can simply copy and past the word document into the history view.

We have done the following, which works while in an encounter. Essentially, the user types in the quicktext .hcp and it executes the following:
{PRINTHANDOUT("Handouts\NEMC\GM Internal medicine\GM Patient Education\Healthcare Proxy")}
Health Care Proxy form given to the patient. {OBSNOW("HLTH PROXY","Printed")} on {LASTOBSDATE("HLTH PROXY")}
So, the handout is printed, and a notation is made in the Flowsheet as an OBS Term. This will facilitate later review. Keep in mind that this only records that a print was made; not that the patient did anything with it.
Thus, if you created quicktexts for your handouts, through the use of OBS Terms you could track.

If you want to add the special formating like the colored background, I was able to get it to work by creating the colored text,Table, etc in Word, then copied it into Wordpad, and copied it from their to the History View screen in Centricity. If I tried to copy from Word straight to Centricity, it would give a formating error message.
Hope this is helpful
