OK.. I see no one has posted anything on this yet, so I will go first. Has anyone created anything around the Ebola screening yet? Also, maybe looking at a clinical decision support for a positive screen. For now we are creating a quick text for the screening questions, but wondered if anyone is doing anything different?

We have a yes/no question that is part of the first form entry screen (by the MA) that asks "Have you traveled to any foreign countries in the past three weeks?". In addition, the main form entry screen that our doctors begin with display the answer to that question - which should remind the provider to ask if it is not yet completed.

I asked our VAR about obs terms, I didn't see any in the latest KB update. They couldn't find any either..... I would have thought obs terms would be forthcoming.....
