I'm trying to add "POA on file" or "POA NOT on File" to the patient banner, depending on whether the Advanced Directives have been completed.
I added the Power of Attorney directive and when I look at clinical list changes it states: Added new directive of POWER OF ATTORNEY - Signed but I'm not sure how to the "POWER OF ATTORNEY" into the banner since it's not an OBS term.

Thank you, that worked for what I need. I was trying to include an "if" statement that would actually say "POA on file" if the directive existed. I couldn't get that to work but this should be fine. I really appreciate your reply.
