Topic starter

I'm building a referral letter to our Community Care team.

In the referral, they would like to know how many office visits the patient has had in the last 6 months.

I'm trying to decipher the _MELCurPatientAppt object, but not having much luck.

Has anyone built a function to do this, or can steer me in the right direction?

All I'm looking for is an integer count of appointments, no other details needed.

I have the following in my banner, to show the last arrived appointment. To know how many ever "ARRIVED" appointments, I think you would just need the first two lines. If you want within past 6 months, you would play with the duration days formula to find a date 6 months ago; and then for days >0 count the entries rather than saving the last one.

Hope that makes sense.

{apptlisting = getfield(APPTS_BY_STATUS("ARRIVED","FULL"),"r","")

apptsize = size(apptlisting)

for count = 1, count < apptsize, count = count + 1

do

datedelim =match(apptlisting[count],"/")

if datedelim > 0 then

appt_date = sub(apptlisting[count],datedelim-2,10)

days = DURATIONDAYS(str(._TODAYSDATE),appt_date)

if val(days) <0 then lastappt2 = appt_date else lastappt2 = "" endif

else ""

endif

endfor

}
