Does anyone have a good way of flaging patient's charts other than using care alerts. We need to have a way to mark a chart when either a patient is "drug seeking", terminated from just one of our providers. Is there a way to have the banner change colors?
No way to change the banner colors but I have in the past used symbols in the banner. I have an obsterm that is populated in a visit and then I have the banner look for that term. If it finds it in use, it would either put a code in the banner or a symbol.
So is this how I could do it for narcotic monitoring?
{PATIENT.LABELNAME} {if OBSANY("NON COMPL")=="" then "MONITOR NARCOTICS" else "" endif} Home: {if PATIENT.ALTPHONE = "" then "None" else PATIENT.ALTPHONE endif}Work:
{if PATIENT.WORKPHONE = "" then "None" else PATIENT.WORKPHONE endif}
{PATIENT.FORMATTEDAGE} {PATIENT.SEX}
(DOB: {Patient.DateOfBirth}) Billing Acct #
: {PATIENT.EXTERNALID} Insurance: {INS_PLAN()}Group:
{INS_GRP()}
Yep. That should work.
will this only show in the banner if someone has the obs term somewhere in their chart other wise it will not be seen
Correct. The way you have it setup, it will be blank unless they have have something in the NON COMPL obsterm.
can you make something pop up?
I must have something wrong because i built a quick form with the obs term and it shows on everyone except the patient who has the obs term???
This should work:
{if OBSANY("NON COMPL")=="" then userok("MONITOR NARCOTICS") else "" endif}
Actually, just noticed something, you would need to have it setup like this:
{if OBSANY("NON COMPL")<>"" then userok("MONITOR NARCOTICS") else "" endif}
If you left it with == then it would have showed up for every patient that didnt have anything populated in the the obsterm. And the ones that did have something in the obsterm, it would not have showed up.
That works perfect thanks so much
Your welcome.
Ok Ernie one more question. My providers want to know if there is anyway to make the text in the popup or the popup itself a different color. Uggg
Nope. Just the default color is it. Sorry.
If the options change and the flag is no longer valid how do i change it does it have to be a flowsheet update or can i do it using the form
I know this is a dead topic from 2013 but I have an addon question for the same topic.
Do I actually have to build a form to do this that becomes a permanent part of the medical record just to put this in? Is there any way I can do something else to not make it such a project and a document in the chart? Just seems like a lot of work to have a form for 1 question, and it needing to be signed and added to the patient's chart.
