This is my first attempt at a letter and I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. My goal is to create a letter based on a 1 hour GTT result for my RN to easily print and send off. I was initially trying to use LAST_SIGNED_OBS_VALUE and could not get it to work so I thought I would try OBSANY...still no luck. I double checked that my office is using the OBS term GESTGLU-1HR AND that my test patient had a populated value.
Any help would be great! Thanks!!!

RE: 1 Hour Glucose Tolerance Test Results performed on {LASTOBSDATE("GESTGLU-1HR")}
Dear {INITIALCAP(PATIENT.FIRSTNAME)},
{If
OBSANY("GESTGLU-1HR")<=134 then
"Your 1 hour glucose was: " + OBSANY("GESTGLU-1HR") = "The 1 hour glucose test you recently performed at my office was: "+ OBSANY("GESTGLU-1HR") + ", which is in the normal range (below 135).
There is nothing further to do regarding this test.
Please feel free to contact my office with any questios regarding this test or anything else regarding your health care. I look forward to seeing you at your next visit."
else if
OBSANY("GESTGLU-1HR")>=135 then
"Your 1 hour glucose was: " + OBSANY(GESTGLU-1HR") + ", which is in the high range (above 135).
In these cases, a 3 hour glucose tolerance test is recommended and has been ordered for you. Please contact my office at your earliest convience to schedule this test if you have not already been contacted."
endif
endif}
Sincerely,
Geoffrey J. Gill, F.A.C.O.G.

You have a '=' instead of a '+'
"Your 1 hour glucose was: " + OBSANY("GESTGLU-1HR") = "The 1 hour glucose test you recently performed at my office was: "+ OBSANY("GESTGLU-1HR") + ", which is in the normal range (below 135).
There is nothing further to do regarding this test.
Please feel free to contact my office with any questios regarding this test or anything else regarding your health care. I look forward to seeing you at your next visit."

Thanks. Do you mind if I use this too? It would be perfect for our patients that have glucose intolerance and we order a HgBA1c for them.
