How do I add an end date to a diagnosis that auto populates in VFE on the Vitals Page?

It depends on how you are adding the diagnosis, and the VFE capabilities also depend on what version of CPS/EMR you are on. CPS 11 will let you update existing problems with MEL...(), otherwise you can use MEL...() to add a problem with a pre-programmed end date or a variable end date... I need more details

We are using GE Centricity Version 11.0.0.621.

The provider click on a Rapid Strep button created in VFE, this auto populates a diagnosis of sore throat. The providers would like to add and end date to that diagnosis.

Sounds like the way to go then is to add an edit field next to the action button, mark it as a date field under options. The action button should have a MEL_ADD_PROBLEM() statement in it, the fifth field is for end date, place the document variable name in that field like -

MEL_ADD_PROBLEM("dx of", "Rapid Strep", "ICD-????", str(._TODAYSDATE), document.end_date, "")

The other thing you could do, is if the provider always wants an end date of 21 days from today for this particular problem is use ADDDATES instead of the variable

MEL_ADD_PROBLEM("dx of", "Rapid Strep", "ICD-????", str(._TODAYSDATE), ADDDATES(str(._TODAYSDATE), "0","0","21"), "")

This requires no additional provider input or changes to the form layout. Hope that helps
