What exactly is the difference between LASTOBSVALUE and OBSANY? I thought I knew but am starting to think maybe I didn't.

help says they're the same, with the exception that obsany can be used on forms...but so can lastobsvalue, so they're the same.

That's what I thought too until they displayed different Mammo Due values on a new preventive form I am building today in one chart. I changed them all to OBSANY and now everything matches. Strange.

So the lastobsvalue will show just that. The last obs value (ex: if they had 3 mammograms, the system will pull the most recent one.) The OBSANY will pull in any or all of them depending on how you list them. I have had to play with these a few times when building text components for providers, they would want certain data and depending on the symbol you select, gives you a particular result. So technically they are similar, but not exactly the same in terms of the results you display.

That seems consistent to what was happening to me. When I used lastobs it pulled a MAMMO DUE value way out into the future 2050 I think and OBSANY pulled the last one I actually entered today (but due in a year or two). Does that sound right?

Yes it does. I have found a few quirks with the symbols especially when it comes to pulling data from a patients chart that has a lot of data in it.

Me too, because it behaved that way with one obs term and patient but not all when I tested others.
