While trying to figure out how to deal with the ugly format pre-built for the Clinical Visit Summary (GE EMR 9.8), wanted to see how many patients we had printed a CVS for. My understanding was that GE only 'counts' items that would be in the MUACTIVITYLOG file. Thus, I made a quick Crystal Report to filter for TypeID in [2,5,519].
While I did not anticipate finding any in 519, since I do not think we have that built, was surprised that I do not seem to see any of type 2 = "Provide CVS to Patient". I was just testing, and I know that one of my doctors has printed some.
Anyone else experience this? By the way, I can see many in the type 5 = "Decline CVS". But, the 5's are the only entries I see.

I may have answered part of my own question... Seems that MUACTIVITY.PVID does not always link to the user table. Oddly, for CVS printed, I am not populating anything into this field - but appear to for other log types.
Now to determine what causes this entry to be made....

It would be interesting to pick a pt and see what the PVID is. I have had entries made by non-physicans within a document, printing pt education material, and they are linked to the provider via the SDID. Does this make sense?

Thanks John. Your solution is what I ended with. Just odd the the PVID in the MU Log file was actually empty for me.
Next, trying to see how to trigger event 519 = CVS sent to patient.
And, of course, how to make the ugly presentation of data in the pre-built GE CVS easier for a patient to read and understand.

Not sure if it helps but we've been able to trigger a (lot of) 519 activity by sending a message to the patient and attaching the CVS to the message - message type doesn't appear to matter. One of the other analysts also coded a button that will send it directly to the patient via the patient portal but this also sends the office visit (with the CVS) so not as many providers follow this workflow.

Side note: the message has to be sent by the next business day.

Thanks

Mike

Hi 'Bruins1986' - could you share that button to automate that process?
Thanks.
