Is there a creative way to either make the Emergency Contact field required in registration or develop a CAM, pop alert when this field is not populated?

There is no CPS setting I'm aware of but I bet Summit Software can develop this for you!

There is MEL for REGEMERGENCY() that returns the information for the contact, or returns an empty string.
Two ideas to ponder:
(1) Add a little MEL to your custom banner to alert if this is blank. Although this may only analyze as you go into a patient.
(2) Use some MEL coding during your MA intake process - where you are capturing for BP, height, weight, etc.. - to alert the MA for the need to get the data.

Emergency Contact is a CEMR concept - it is not applicable in CPS. In CPS it can be set up as a Custom Contact and then mapped in the MIK I believe. You want to use T for the code but no guarantees HL7 will bring it in. REGEMERGENCY() is CEMR only I believe.
