I have this working but now I need it to calculate based on today's date + 3 months - this would be during the encounter not based on last OBS Term...

Any ideas???

Thanks!

I don't know how you have this set up, but you probably could use:

adddates(str(._todaysdate), "", "3","")

probably, but don't know what you need. do you mean you want to push the result of the date calculation to an obsterm? that would be: obsnow("term", adddates(str(._todaysdate), "", "3",""))

do you mean you want to add 3 months to an obs date? adddates(lastobsdate("term"), "","3","")

something else? You may need to explain further what you need, or post some of the code you're working with.

Oh sorry - basically, I need to calculate a due date for a TEST for 3 months from the current update?

and what part of that involves the obsterm? calculating from previous obs date, or pushing new calculated date to it?

today + 3 months is what I first wrote: adddates(str(._todaysdate),"","3","") - that adds 3 months to today's date

in my last post, the first example pushes that date to your obsterm - just replace "term" with your obsterm
