Our providers use the Peds Development form; v 8.3.7.1 ( I know it is outdated). If a provider accidentally clicks the 'P' instead of the 'F' there is no way within the form to correct that mistake. They have to go outside of the encounter to edit the Flowsheet.
Does anyone have a workaround that allows the provider to correct these mistakes from within the encounter?
I can create a separate form that would hold a button to open the Update Flowsheet window but thought I would ask to see if someone has come up with a better solution.
Thanks!!

I am not familiar with this form, but it sounds like it is setting some obs terms, and then you have to go out to the flowsheet to manually delete the entries. There is a workaround if the obsterm is set to the current date, or if the obsterm is being given a back-date.
If the Obsterm is being set to the date of the current document, then build a button with the following MEL Code:
{OBSNOW("Obsterm Name","")}
Obsterm Name should be replaced with the Obsterm being set by the Peds form.
If you set an obsterm to blank like this after it was set, it will clear it from the flowsheet. This happens because the database cannot hold an empty value.
However, the OBSNOW code only works on obsterms that are recorded for the same date as the document. If that P button is setting the obsterm to an earlier date, then you have to manually clear it out from the flowsheet.

Hi Jessica I was wondering if you happen to still be using this form? Reason why I am asking is because providers in our office are still using this form and continue to have the same problem but not sure what other form to replace it with?

Our providers have used it very rarely over the past year and not at all in the past 4 months. It is still part of our Well Child Check encounters and has not been specifically replaced by any form. I believe our providers are just getting more familiar with using the Entry-CCC form (that replaced the Well Child-Age Specific-CCC form) and are not finding the need to use the PedsDevelpment form any longer.
