I'm trying to build a handout with the latest information from our encounters. Basically we have 10 boxes that are populated by our transcriptionists, and if I use last signed obs value, the most recent visit might only have boxes 1 and 2 filled in but 3 years ago all 10 boxes were filled in, so it'll mixing the newest info with some of the oldest. Is there a way to JUST display the most recent information?

I have an observation term record solely for the purpose of identifying an office visit, I use OBSNOW("DATE1"), then I can go down the line -

if LAST_SIGNED_OBS_DATE("DATE1") == LAST_SIGNED_OBS_DATE(Your term) then

OBSANY(YourTerm)

endif

It wont really matter what term you use as long as you can count on it to be recorded consistently

I do the same thing. Works great and you can also setup so the term is documented automatically. Just pick a form that is used every visit.

I have mine set on the Vital Signs form.

Excellent! We use DATE1 on our check-in form so it is consistently filled out. Glad to have finally found a solution to this issues that's been on the back burner for far too long.

Thanks!

This looks like a useful function, but I can't quite see how you use it. Can you give an example? Thanks.

That is a really cool, simple way of pulling only most recent visit info. Say you did an office visit with in house lab and you wanted to send a lab letter to someone with just the results of lab done during that office visit, this would work great. Thumbs up. Laugh
