Our docs want to see their prior HPI in a READ ONLY status and have it not brought into the note. Per our compliance officer:
is there any way they can receive information from a prior visit in a read only format? It makes perfect sense to me that they need to see the info from a prior visit for reference.
Any assistance greately appreciated.

Hmmm... the only way I can think to do that is to have all the information entered be associated with observations instead of a document. This way it gets stored and not just associated with that document. Then the forms will also have to have a data display that shows observations with the previous entries entered below the current entering location. I hope this makes sense. If not, I can do a couple screen shots and show you what I am talking about. I was working on this for vitals a while back, so we could associate the previous bp and weight for continuity sake.

In Centricity EMR 9.5 and later, there is a new MEL command

LASTOBSVALUEBYUSER(‘obsname’)

which will return the last observation value for obsterm "obsname" that was signed by the currently logged in user.

Thanks for all the replies - the issue we are having, is that we want it to be read only, to be seen but NOT put into the chart - some of our providers use the same note over and over...... We want them to be able to see the prior, but not put it into the note.

So couldn't you put a data display for LASTOBSVALUEBYUSER(‘obsname’) for the HPI obsterm. That way they could see it but not change it.

Are you using custom forms or CCC?

If you're using custom, on your HPI form Insert a Data field. The connection type would be 'Mel expression' and then you would put in LASTOBSVALUEBYUSER(‘HPI’) -- Now this is using VFE.

For CCC, that may not be possible. I don't know if there is something that can be done to prevent them from adding it to the visit. I'm thinking the idea was to give them the ability to view it, add it to the current visit and then update it for the current visit. That way they aren't having to start from scratch.
