Hello,
Has anyone been able to modify the Directives drop-down? We would like to remove some choices and add ones that are missing.
Thanks,
Rachel

No and I have been trying to figure it out for 5 years now.....

I just found proof that it is not in the database, but instead is hard coded in the application. It is in the file mlchart.dll somewhere. Since it is a binary file, there is no way to modify it without breaking everything. (as far as I know)
I found it by running the "Strings" application on the EMR installation directory and I found this:
strings mlchart.dll | findstr /i "resuscitate"
See advance directive on file,Discussed - No decision made, Do not resuscitate,No heroic measures,No artificial life support,No artificial ventilatory support,No electrical cardioversion,No dialysis,No surgery,No hospitalization,No transfer from home,No blood transfusion,Living Will on File,Power of Attorney,Narcotics Agreement,HIPAA Disclosure,Privacy Notice Acknowledged

Apparently it is hard coded and they don't allow you to change it.
I don't really understand that. Thanks!
