I exported this form to a clinical kit, and am looking at it in VFE. The form has buttons for printing handouts for high/low BMI and for smoking cessation.
You can only print forms that are in "handouts". Since you apparently can't choose Truven handouts, what's the point? Printing these handouts will not count towards Meaningful Use.
Am I missing something?
That is actually incorrect. The Truven forms do count towards MU if you access them from within the patient chart. Doesn't mean they are helpful by any means but they will in fact count.
Unfortunately, the existing MU Core Checklist form does not reach out to Truven for its handouts. I had to create these handout myself in order to get the MU Core Checklist to do anything. Has anyone modified the MU Core Checklist to redirect the search for these handouts to Truven, and as such, get credit for MU?
I think you would have to add the MEL function to write to the MU activity log table inside each button, along with your handout. There isn't a way to call the Truven handouts from a button without invoking them outside the EMR in a browser and that won't trigger a table write for MU activity.
that I will agree with for sure. Sadly...
