anyone figure out how to add the exam room # the patient is in to the banner? How do support staff know which room pts are in? Hovering over the schedule is a bit tedious!
thanks
We put the room number on the summary line of the document. This seems to work well for our staff & physicians.

At our clinics, we put the room number in the Summary line of the encounter. When the document is routed to the provider's desktop they will see it in the summary line.
You could create an Appointment Status that is the Exam Room #, and make each Exam Room # (Appointment Status) a different color (i.e. Exam Room #1 is red, Exam Room #2 is blue, Exam Room #3 is yellow). The rooming staff can change the Appointment status on the appointment when they room the patient. Support staff can memorize the color of the room and will know at a glance of the schedule by the bar color which room the patient is in. Hope this helps!
the only thing that you can use to show in the banner that is editable is {PATIENT.REGNOTE}
which take from the first windows of the registration note in cps.
you can also make a variable that said something like this.
ROOM:{if PATIENT.REGNOTE ="" then "none" else PATIENT.REGNOTE}
In the OBS table, is a variable for "PT ROOM#", thus if you created an encounter with a form that writes to that, you could recall the OBS in a banner.
