Printing the clinical visit summaries for meaningful use, it now prints the problems that were removed or resolved etc. during that update. Do those have to be on the printed clinical summary or just active problems?

Victoria-
We have so much bad information that prints on our clinical summaries that the physicians hardly use them. This is very frustrating since we are trying to get ready to attest for meaningful use.
I just posted on the CHUG some questions. I am wondering if it would be easier if we created our own summary form?

We just print the problems that were assessed during the visit (print the handout while the visit is still unsigned).

How do you print just the problems that were assessed during the visit?

Your problem list:
{if LISTASSESSNEW() <> "" then fnReplStr_LC(LISTASSESSNEW(), "Assessed ", "") else "<None>" endif}
Here is the function called at the top of the handout:
{! fn fnReplStr_LC(strBuf, strTarget, strReplacement)
{
local nMatch = match(strBuf, strTarget)
while (nMatch > 0) do
strBuf = remove(strBuf, nMatch, size(strTarget))
strBuf = insert(strBuf, nMatch, strReplacement)
nMatch = match(strBuf, nMatch + size(strReplacement), strTarget)
endwhile
return (strBuf)
}

Sorry David but this looks like greek to me.
We currently use the clinical summart handout for our patients which was built by GE. To me this looks like you might have created your own handout for the patients? Sorry I am not a programmer and I am completely lost!

Lori, if you use the GE CVS, you will see this line:
Problems associated with your visit include:
If you look at the actual Handout (Go, Setup, Settings, Handout, Handout Templates and then navigate the the Enterprise folder to find the handout) there is that line then code that checks to see if there are any problem list changes and shows them. If there are not it prints the word none. We've replaced that sentence and code with
Your problem list:
{if LISTASSESSNEW() <> "" then fnReplStr_LC(LISTASSESSNEW(), "Assessed ", "") else "<None>" endif}
We also added the function code from my post at the top of the handout template. It doesn't print out, it is just used by the commands in code where we show assessed problems.
We also dropped the section where the complete problem list is printed. We started with the GE CVS as a base but made several changes.
Hope this helps explain it a little better.

Dave-
Sorry for asking these crazy questions but I dont see the CVS listed under the Enterprise tab. The options I have under Enterprise are Medicalogic, knowledge bank, and privacy.
