I created a BMI and BP Management form that adds instructions to the Patient Instructions-CCC. A problem arises when filling out the Patient Instructions-CCC prior to the BMI and BP Management Instructions. Is there a way to preven my custom form from overwriting the text already entered in the Patient Instructions-CCC?
how does it get filled out? Is it a set values button, if so you can set it to append the so it will add to it. Or you can set it to never overwrite and if something else is in there it won't add it. Kind of need more information on how you have it programmed if it is anything else.
As Scott was saying, you will need to do something like OBSNOW("INSTRUCTIONS",OBSNOW("INSTRUCTIONS)+HRET+DOCUMENT.BMIMGMT+HRET+DOCUMENT.BPMGMT)
I currently have the MEL as the following in my VFE form.
{OBSNOW("INSTRUCTIONS", if DOCUMENT.HIGHBMIPLAN1864<>"" and DOCUMENT.PREHTNBPPLAN1<>"" then OBSNOW("INSTRUCTIONS","The following instructions and plan for BMI management was discussed with " + PATIENT.FIRSTNAME + ": " + DOCUMENT.HIGHBMIPLAN1864 + ".
" + "Additionally, the following instructions and plan were addressed for Blood Pressure Management: " + DOCUMENT.PREHTNBPPLAN1 + ".
")
What I would like to do is set this to append to the already populated patient instructions from the Patient Instructions-CCC form?
