I am trying to figure out a way to efficiently cc providers on my chart notes. I have created a multiline edit field in a form with obsterm "providerlist" or something like that (its not in front of me now so I don't recall the exact obsterm). This will pull forward all providers entered in once but I was wondering if anybody has an easier or more efficient method. It would be great to be able to automatically fax to these providers using biscom too.
How do others do their cc's?
Thanks Matt
Matt,
We have the same process the CC is at the bottom of the providers note, once signed the staff will look at the CC and manually biscom fax to the needed providers. I agree the auto biscom would be a very helpful tool.
I was hoping someone might have come up with some clever way of bringing in the providers already entered in the registration contacts instead of needing to enter them in again manually.
Thanks for responding!
Matt
Hi Matt,
If you familiar with VFE, I have some code I'd like to share for pulling in ref doc into the refmd obsterm. This is piece of codes loads the first time the HPI form is opened.
Checks to see if there is a previous value for Referring MD Obsterm.
- if there is no prior Ref MD value, it pulls the data Registration.
- if there is a prior ref md value it will pull the prior obsterm value forward.
I hope you are able to find the concept here useful for what you are trying to accomplish. Thanks- Allen.
{!DOCUMENT.HPIRUNONCE}
{!
if (DOCUMENT.HPIRUNONCE=="") then
if (OBSANY("REFERRING MD")=="") then
OBSNOW("REFERRING MD",PATIENT.REFMDID)
else
OBSNOW("REFERRING MD",OBSANY("REFERRING MD"))
endif
DOCUMENT.HPIRUNONCE=1
else
DOCUMENT.HPIRUNONCE=1
endif
}
I have created this Carbon Copy VFE form that you can modify to fit your needs (created this form with the help of fellow chuggers....cough cough Ernie Turner).
It stores the OBS CARBONCOPY and displays previous values that you can bring forward. I also made it required so the user can not close unless they fill in the carbon copy...even if the value is "nobody"...something must be entered. You can change this if you do not want that functionality.
I have seen this form modified to include an entire Coordination of Care Providers list too.
Here is the form: Carbon Copy Note 1-18-2012.dlg
Thanks! Will check it out.

Very cool. I think I will be able to incorporate some of this into mine. Thanks!
