Hello,
I have recently noticed an issue with making fields required in Centricity when it comes to forms inside of a patients chart. I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to do this, so when someone tries to end a document it will check that those fields are required are filled out. We are using Visual Form Editor 5.03 and Centricity 10.1.3.300 I have already tried using the data validation inside of the VFE application under the advanced tab, but Centricity crashes whenever I try to make a field required in a form. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this either through MEL code or through the Centricity application itself.
As far as I can tell through testing, CPS will let them END the document visit while on the form containing the Data Validation. So, when the next person opens the document (usually the provider) it will give them a pop-up and crash. I don't think there is a way around them ending the document on the form with Data Validation, but we fixed this issue through training the nurses properly.
VFE help file lists the ways that will keep the user from leaving the form when data isn't filled out:
- The Previous Form or Next Form buttons are pressed to change the open form.
- The Close button is pressed to close the form.
- The user presses the "tab" for one of the other pages in the form to change the open page.
