Is there a way if I am using the MEL send flag options to have it somehow in a check box that is auto checked inside of an encounter so the providers do not have to remember to actual check the checkbox?
Are you using a button to trigger the send flag?
I can but they do not want to have to click anything they want it to automatically go without clicking anything
What is the code to trigger the flag?
what they want is when they finish their documenting their bone density results and sign it off they want to be able to send a flag to the dexa girl without actually doing the work. So this is something that would only be in one encounter.
Are you planning on trigger the flag when they finish their documentation? Basing it off an obsterm?
I havent really planned anything, they told me at noon today they wanted it automatic so when they signed the document it will auto send the flag. I was planning on just a button, but no they dont want to click a button or a checkbox or anything. They want it to just go to april (the tech) as soon as it is signed.
No way I know of to make it go automatically when signed. You could do it once a obsterm is populated. Are they going to be putting in type of order with it also?
No all they want is after the dexa scan is read and they sign the interpretation off then they want the document to auto flag the tech so she can then fax to anyone who needs a copy, and they do not want to have to manual route or manual click anything to send the flag.
Hmm..are you planning on having the DEXA read go to an obsterm?
yes we have it connected already
Then I would build your checkbox to trigger off of the obsterm being populated. Something like this:
{!IF OBSNOW("DEXAREAD OBSTERM") <> "" THEN DOCUMENT.CHECKBOX = "checked" ELSE "" ENDIF}
Just set the document variable as the document.checkbox name and the "checked" as whatever you have setup in the statement field of the checkbox.
then how will that trigger a flag
Trigger it like this:
{!IF OBSNOW("DEXAREAD OBSTERM") <> "" THEN MEL_SEND_FLAG("Flag","<USERLOGIN>","", str(._todaysdate),"<SUBJECT LINE HERE>","<MESSAGE HERE THAT YOU WANT TO SEND>","Documents", "") ELSE "" ENDIF}
perfect you are the bomb
