Our clinical process has the MA open a new encounter with every patient visit. The document template for this opens several forms. This all works fine. However, now the question has come up - how can certain responses be effectively highlighted so that when the Doctor comes in to do the exam, and see the text of the document, he/she will know to ask about one or more items.
For instance, if the MA learns that the patient would like to discuss smoking cessation or if a Depression Screening had a positive result, both of those could easily be buried in all of the text from several forms of questions and answers.
One solution I have been trying is thru the CFMT command, to help highlight the question & answer within all of the messages. However, this requires the Doctor to scroll through everything, with the potential to miss it. And I know that the forms automatically seem to switch from green to blue text (and back again) without any ability for me to do something in red to accommodate the request.
A question was 'could the important stuff automatically be a the top of the document. It does not appear that a document template can execute MEL like:
{LASTOBSVALUEDATE("PHQ9")}
Plus, I have the logic issue that even if it did execute that command, I would want it executed again after all the forms have been completed. I can create this into a quicktext, and then after completing the forms, manually scrolling to the top and then do the quicktext. [Note, I would want to do more programming than simply this, but just trying to give an example.]
So, open to any suggestions on how to highlight some answers from within the forms.

You could try doing a text component in the document template that would OBSNOW the info you are looking for and build an userok dialog out of what it finds. Or use a text component that has your text translation doing the OBSNOW thing so it all prints in one part of the note (where you have the text component in the document template). Other than that it would just be a "Look at this" form with OBSNOWs for what you are wanting to highlight.
