Hello, I'm having an issue with the eforms. I notice when if a patient completes a form for example the past medical history form it will drop into the EMR but it will delete prior past medical history collected in the patients chart. Is anyone else having this problem?

It sounds like they are writing to the same obs terms. In order not to delete/replace the past medical history you would need to assign a different obs term to the eform. There are obs terms for patient entered information.
Ok thanks, I'll try this!
I have another question, if I change the obs term on the patient portal eform, then how will the information drop into the EMR is the obs terms are different?
Depending on your set up you can assign the patient obs to another box, or staff can pull in patient entered information using a quick text.
