We created the below quick text for our provider if they are in the blank area in the note there are not any issues the cursor is at the end of the line so the provider just clicks enter and the second quick text flows into the note if they are on a form such as HPI the cursor goes to the next line any ideas how the quick text can be set up if using it within a form the cursor will remain at the end the information documented so the "enter" will bring in the next step?

Thank you

Hep C {IF LASTOBSVALUE("HEP C AB")"", + LASTOBSVALUE("HEP C AB"), ""} {LASTOBSDATE("HEP C AB")}

I have also struggled with how to chain multiple quick texts together to get around the 512 character limit and came up with the following workaround.

Create a library of functions in a file that gets loaded by the usrlib.txt file when someone starts Centricity.
This custom functions file will contain the functions that are needed to generate the quick texts strings that are greater than 512 characters. A local variable called returnTxt is declared in each function to hold the text string that gets generated and returned when the function is called.
Create a quicktext that simply calls the custom function needed.

You can deploy the custom function library and the updated usrlib.txt file either manually or by using the jobs.txt file. This process works beautifully and is very powerful. I have used this strategy to generate very long HPI templates that populate the referring physician, prior lab values, weight change, etc. and adapts the text to the patient's gender with proper pronouns (e.g. his/her, he/she, etc.). Our providers love the fact that they don't have to remember to chain several quick texts together.
