Our providers have asked if there is a way for better spacing for the medication list on handouts. Our patients are elderly, and it would be easier for them to read if there was a space between each line. I'm currently using this to pull into the handout:

{(MEDS_AFTER("List"))}

use replacestr to replace ',' with ',' + hret

description

Replaces an old string with a new string, frequently used when getting clinical lists and placing into dynamic drop-downs to replace the , with a \, so the imbedded comma is not stripped out.

type

MEL utility function

syntax

replacestr(string,oldstr,newstr)

arguments

string	A string in which old instances are being replaced
oldstr	string
newstr	string

returns

A string in which the old instances of oldstr are replaced with newstr

{ReplaceStr("fever~chills~headache","~",", ")}

Pardon my ignorance, but I'm still not getting how I can set this up.

{ReplaceStr(MEDS_AFTER("list"), hret, hret + hret)}

will replace the single hard return with 2, thus double spacing.

If you're using meds_after("list") this will work. If not, the same idea may be applied.

{cfmt(replacestr(meds_after("list"), hret,hret+hret), "", "Medication

", "B,U","

")}

This is the response I received when I asked the same question. I just copied and pasted this into the letter.
