Is there any way to use VFE to change patient attributes in registration?

Like say, I am displaying the patient’s email address in a custom form, but the email is wrong. Is there syntax that can be written so that if I change the email here, it changes it in the EMR {PATIENT.EMAIL} field in registration?

Thank you!

The short answer is... No.

However, in theory, you could write something to:

1) capture new email address

2) combine this with patient id information into a properly formatted HL7 message file

3) put the message into the proper location for inbound LinkLogic messages

4) have your inbound LinkLogic queue process the file

And, you therefore have an updated email address

So, not impossible. However, would probably be better if GE added MEL commands to update fields like this.

Tosh, you could use the Rapid Launch code for Visual Signature Capture and launch a VSC document from an Action button. The phone number fields are some of the Demographics you can update with a VSC template if you have the program and LinkLogic configured.
