Good morning,

We are trying to run Meaningful Use Report 12 (Provide Electronic Copy of Health Info) and it is working fine for every department except for Gastroenterology. I keep getting a pop up saying "Bad date format string." I have tried entering the date manually and using the calendar feature, but regardless, I am getting this error.

Does anyone know what the problem could be or how to correct this?

Thanks for any help!

Sarah

We had the same issue with one of our locations of care. The cause is a user entering the wrong date into the 'date request received' box on the Patient Authorization form (in our case: 0123/2012 instead of 01/23/2012--the user typed the date instead of using the calendar button). GE ran a SQL query to help narrow down the possibilities. Give GE the following SR # when you call in: 1-233797532 that should help them out as well.

Can you tell me how to resolve this issue ? We have the same issue. I found the invalid dates for the particular location, and we corrected them on the flowsheet, but the error still occurs. We deleted the invalid dates from the flowsheet, then added them correctly, but can't get past this error. HELP !!

For now, you can use the isdate function to eliminate the invalid dates.

Can you provide a little more detail ? I am not familiar with the isdate function.

Where do I do this ? Thanks.

I believe, in the CheckPatForDrNr formula, only valid values can be taken by using isdate function, something like this

({RPTOBS.HDID} = 22291.00) and (isDate({RPTOBS.OBSVALUE})

Hope this helps

In addition to changing the line of code in the CheckPatForDrNr formula as mentioned above from

({RPTOBS.HDID} = 22291.00) and

to

({RPTOBS.HDID} = 22291.00) and (isDate({RPTOBS.OBSVALUE})) and

towards the end of the code where it is

(
    if (instr(SentDatesList, {RPTOBS.OBSVALUE} + "^") = 0) then
        SentDatesList := SentDatesList + ToText(Date({RPTOBS.OBSVALUE})) + "^";
    //bSent := true;
);

replace with

(
if (isDate({RPTOBS.OBSVALUE})) then
if (instr(SentDatesList, {RPTOBS.OBSVALUE} + "^") = 0) then
SentDatesList := SentDatesList + ToText(Date({RPTOBS.OBSVALUE})) + "^";
//bSent := true;
);
