Our Pediatrician has asked if there is a way to insert the Growth Chart Percentiles into her dictation. Does anyone have a way to add this documentation to an encounter?
We started using form Vital Signs-pediatric to get the percentages in to the chart. It is not a CCC form but it works for what we need in placing the percentages into the note. You have to click a radio button to make sure that % gets into the note.

Would you be willing to share that form? [email protected]
We are on a hosted server through our GE VAR and this form was part of the package we had when we received when we started using CPS in 2012.
We record the growth chart percentiles in our Nurse Intake form and then display them in the chart note output for the Physical Exam.
Chart Note (Weight Field): {CFMT(OBSNOW("WEIGHT (KG)"), "", "Weight: ", "", " kg" + printPercentile(OBSNOW("WEIGHT %TILE"), LASTOBSDATE("WEIGHT (KG)"), LASTOBSDATE("WEIGHT %TILE")) + ". ")}
The printPercentile function is something we wrote to both: (1) ensure that the weight and the percentile were recorded on the same date; (2) format the percentile appropriately (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.)
fn printPercentile(i, d1, d2)
{
local retStr = ""
cond
case d1 == "": /*Do Nothing*/
case d2 == "": /*Do Nothing*/
case d1 <> d2: /*Do Nothing*/
else:
cond
case i == "":
case i == "0": retStr = retStr + " (<1st percentile)"
case i == "1": retStr = retStr + " (1st percentile)"
case i == "2": retStr = retStr + " (2nd percentile)"
case i == "3": retStr = retStr + " (3rd percentile)"
case val(i) >= 4 and val(i) <= 20: retStr = retStr + " (" + i + "th percentile)"
else:
cond
case size(i) <> 2: retStr = retStr + " (" + i + "th percentile)"
case sub(i, 2, 1) == "1": retStr = retStr + " (" + i + "st percentile)"
case sub(i, 2, 1) == "2": retStr = retStr + " (" + i + "nd percentile)"
case sub(i, 2, 1) == "3": retStr = retStr + " (" + i + "rd percentile)"
else: retStr = retStr + " (" + i + "th percentile)"
endcond
endcond
endcond
return retStr
}
chaddix - would you be willing to share your nurse intake form, by chance?
