Just wondering if there is a way to suppress a heading from being displayed on a handout? According to GE they have never gotten this request before so it would be an "enhancement" request. Since GE gives different answers to different people, I'm just wondering if anyone has heard of or tried doing this before. Thank you!

Perhaps the individual you spoke to has never gotten the request, but it has previously been requested for certain. Since it has never been addressed, we are forced to be creative with MEL.

To suppress it, you would need to reconstruct the header with a conditional statement. Something like:

{if match(PRINT_TITLE,"~") <> 1 then LOC.NAME else "" endif}

You would repeat this for each item you want to suppress. Keep in mind that formatting for the times you do want the header to appear will need to be carefully replicated. One tip I can provide is that anything OUTSIDE of the curly braces will be translated - characters, spaces, hard returns, etc., so take care in noting extra 'lines and spaces' and review your code for appropriate adjustments.

The second step is to simply 'prefix' any handout you want the header suppressed on with the character chosen as the 'flag'. In my example above, it is the tilde. Note that this will only work for custom handouts. System handouts will need to be identified by name and a function could be written to include them. You could put the function in the userlib.txt file (pushed out to each client/thin client server) and call that function from there. More complex, but the concept is the same.

Hope this helps.

Have you ever done this with a particular problem? For instance if there was a sensitive diagnosis that the provider did not want to print on the Clinical Visit Summary?
