When an observation is recorded into the flowsheet in Centricity EMR, how can a symbol or indicator be included? For instance, if a BP is abnormally high, how can the red flowsheet symbol be displayed with the abnormal value? I am using VFE for form development.

Thank you.

I have never used it, but theoretically with this -

OBSTAGNOW

description

Returns the observation tag for the current update for the
specified observation term. If there was no change to this observation during
the current update, this symbol shows nothing.

Note.
Do not use the ability to push data with this function
outside of a chart update; otherwise, the note will unsigned.

type

Data symbol function

syntax

OBSTAGNOW(observation, [value])

arguments

A valid observation term from the observation term
list

value

A new tag for the observation (if pushed from a form to the
chart)

comment

OBSTAGNOW can be pushed without the observation term having a
value. Make sure that you add a tag to an observation only if that term also has
a value.

An observation term that has only a tag is still considered
‘filled in’ by protocols.

If the application does not recognize the value argument, it
does not add a tag.

example

{OBSTAGNOW("weight")}

returns

High

{OBSTAGNOW(’weight’,’High’)}

Adds the tag of High for the observation term weight

Thank you, Michael. I never thought of combining the tag with the observation, but that will work. I will report back with my success...or lack thereof!
