We have a form that currently has a Data Display field that connects a Previous observation with date, this only allows for one obs term to be attached. This is being used to pull the date of the patient's last flu vaccination. When the form was originally designed, we were only using one obs term, now we have a few different obs term for the different flu vaccinations offered, so we are thinking that the way to go is MEL Expression since we only want the last date to display, however I need help with how this can be done. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

So, you are looking for a way to get the last date of two or more OBS Codes? For instance the FLU code and FLU-MIST code?

I approached the matter differently, and have attached the form we are using. Note, it is a work-in-progress since we do not yet have stock for some of these for this season yet.

We separated the Flu from the newer High Dose Flu, and display separately down the left column. Each of the five key immunizations has its own tab.

FluShot

Here is the VFE code --

Lastly, be aware that the use of this may be limited if you are upgrading the emr/cps software; for Meaningful Use there will be an immunization migration and a completely new way of handling these shots.

As always, any questions or comments on the VFE can be sent to me.
