Does anyone know if you can change the color of the Patient Banner if the patient has an active Patient Portal account?
I would love to know as well. I have always been told it is not possible.
I would love to know also, as I've always been told that changing banner color was not possible. We're on EMR 9.8.11.
Thanks!
I could not get color to show in the Banner.
I was playing around with the wingdings font to insert little picture symbols into the Patient Banner.
I did not get around to putting if - then - else - endif around the code yet, not sure if it will work.
Try using wingdings. Choose a wingding symbol that you can include in the header after verifying the patient has an active patient portal account.
Caution - create a new test header that you can play around with. Set it to your LOCAL preference for a patient banner while testing. Log completely out of EMR 9.8 then back in again to see your changed header.

Here is a link to a website showing the wingdings font and pictures

[UPDATE - Got it working]
.
Objective: Insert a smiley face at the leftmost corner of Patient Banner if Patient has a marital status.
.
SOLUTION:
.
{if PATIENT.MARITALSTATUS<>"" then " < J > < " + PATIENT.MARITALSTATUS+" > " else "" endif}
.
The font is Arial - EXCEPT for the smiley face, where I changed the font to Wingdings and inserted a capital J. This inserts as a smiley face. I then changed the font back to Arial for the rest of my MEL coding. It works ! The banner now displays a smile.
{if OBSANY("PATPORTALPIN")="Y" then "WINGDING1" else if OBSANY("PATPORTALPIN") = "I" then "WINGDING2" else "WINGDING3" endif endif}
this is how we combated that
We would love to be able to do color in the banner.
