With the removal of the patient header in 10.1.3 while in an encounter, I have multiple physicians that miss being able to see the header information as far as the patients age etc. For the users that are click counters, having to minimize the update to view the chart is a frustration. I am working on building quick texts that providers can pull some of this data into their note (specifically HPI) and not have to minimize the note. I am having an issue trying to get the patient age to list. Only am able to get the DOB to pull into the note. Would anyone have any helpful hints on how to get the age to pull through?
Any Help is Greatly Appreciated!!

Try using PATIENT_AGE() in your quicktext. That should pull it.

Also do you have a list you would be willing to share with additional codes like the above, that are not listed as a Symbol to insert?

I dont but another one that I use is PATIENT.PCP that will return the patients pcp that is documented in registration.
I am sure I have some more somewhere and I will try to update this post with them as I remember what they are.

Hello Sirna, I have had many people complain about the header too. Here are a couple of alternative solutions/thoughts to consider: #1. Now that the office note is in a window you can either move it to a second monitor and still view the patient's other chart info. Supposed to be an improvement. #2. You can minimize the window that the office note is in and scoot it down to see the patient banner. #3. OR, I have made this VFE form that is really nice that you can plant into all your encounters. It is a view only form that shows all the patient's demographics. Note: There is a tab on this form that has a nice clinical list update. I added that too for ease of Rx refills (there is a shortcut button to the refills form). You are free to use this form and may need to modify as needed for your office. I have had really great feedback with the form. Here is a preview of the Registration View Form. Here is the VFE dlg file of the form. If you need the entire clinical kit, please email me and I will send it to you. [email protected]

One could also simply add a button to forms that calls "USEROK". Since the userok message is not limited to 2K characters one could probably put all the old banner info ther and place it on appropraite forms. The popup doesn't sprout scroll bars, though, so don't put too much on it.
