Hi Guys,

I am trying to edit the list of referrals that are available in Order Form, Which is inbuilt form supplied by GE.

Is it possible to edit the list or I have to recreate whole Order Form to be able to add more referrals?

Regards,

Vishal Rami

Specific referrals cannot be added with MEL_ADD_ORDER. The help topic is given below:

MEL_ADD_ORDER

description Adds a new test or service order to the patientâ€™s list of orders. Note. MEL_ADD_ORDER cannot add referrals. Do not use this function outside of a chart update; otherwise, the note will not be signed. syntax MEL_ADD_ORDER(TYPE,CATEGORY,DESCRIPTION, MODIFIER,DIAGNOSIS CODE(S),DIAGNOSIS CODE DESCRIPTION(S),COMMENT,UNITS, PRIORITY,AUTHORIZING PROVIDER, ORDERDATE) arguments		Related symbols MEL_ADD_MEDICATION MEL_ADD_ALLERGY MEL_ADD_DIRECTIVE MEL_ADD_PROBLEM MEL_SIGN_ORDERS
type	The type of order to be added: T = Test S = Service Note. You cannot add a referral from an encounter form using MEL_ADD_ORDER.
category	The order category to which this order belongs. Necessary because the same orders can exist in different categories. The specified category must be an existing order category.
description	The order description must match an existing order in the category used in the second argument.
modifier	Optional. A pipe (\|) delimited list of order modifier codes associated with this order.
diagnosis codes	Optional. A pipe (\|) delimited list of diagnosis codes associated with this order.
diagnosis code descriptions	Optional. A pipe (\|) delimited list of diagnosis descriptions associated with this order. If the DIAGNOSIS CODES argument is used, the DIAGNOSIS CODE DESCRIPTIONS argument cannot be blank. The number of items in the codes list must match the number of items in the code descriptions list.
comment	Optional. The instructions or comments associated with this order, up to 2000 characters. If you exceed the 2000-character limit, you will encounter an error.
units	Optional. The number of units for this order.
priority	Optional. The priority of this order (N = normal, U = urgent, or S = stat).
authorizing provider	Optional. The login user name of the authorizing provider for this order. If this argument is left blank, the default authorizing provider is used (either the document or patientâ€™s responsible provider as set up in Settings > Preferences > Chart > Order Entry).
orderdate	Optional. The date the order is to be performed.
when to evaluate This function does not support the ability to evaluate continuously. returns This function adds the specified order to the patientâ€™s chart. error handling If youâ€™ve used this function in an encounter form, the error code is not returned to the text translation. It is captured in MEL and can be used in conjunction with USEROK or USERYESNO to pop up an alert to the user, indicating that there is a problem with their data entry. To determine what type of error occurred, use the following error codes: -1 : Invalid Order Type -2 : Invalid order category -3 : Invalid Description -4 : Order obsolete -5 : Invalid Diagnosis Code -6 : Comments field too long -7 : Invalid Priority -8 : Invalid or obsolete authorizing provider -9 : Invalid order date -10: Invalid Modifier -11: Additional information is required for this order -12: Unequal number of diagnosis codes and diagnosis code descriptions -13: Invalid quantity or units comments You may use a diagnosis that does not appear on the patientâ€™s problem list. It will be added to the order, but will not appear on the patientâ€™s problems list. example {MEL_ADD_ORDER("S","Cardiology Fee Ticket","Dual Chamber Electronic Analysis with reprogramming","26","ICD10-R45.8\|ICD-401.1","ACUTE MI\|HYPERTENSION","Include interpretation","1","S","smitchell","08/22/2003")} Adds the specified service order to the patientâ€™s order list, with two diagnosis, a modifier, comment, one unit of service, a priority of Stat, smitchell as the authorizing provider, and an order date of August 22, 2003

Barrington, IL 60010 USA

You must use {NEWORDER(customlist)} to add a referral, and it must be added manually after jumping to the customlist.
