Hi, is it possible to write a MEL statement to do something like this? I'd like to put it in a text file or in a document template to automatically do the following when the update is started:
if a patient's email contains @ then populate OBSNOW "METHCONTACT" with "secmsg" , or if email does not contain @ then populate OBSNOW "METHCONTACT" with "offered but declined" and OBSNOW "PATPORTALPIN" with "offered but declined"
I tried a few variations, but I'm not really sure how to do this, if someone could help that would be great! thank you!

Laryssa,
I could help you with this. If you would like to do a webex, you may contact me via email and we could schedule time to look at it over a lunch hour. Just let me know your availability.

I haven't tested this but it might be something to get you started. Try putting this into a text file and having it load in your office encounter. Also, do you want this to write at every single visit? You could modify it so that if there is a previous value in 'METHCONTACT' and 'PATPORTALPIN' you skip the logic entirely.
{
if match(PATIENT.EMAIL,1,"@")>0 then
OBSNOW("METHCONTACT","secmsg")
else
OBSNOW("METHCONTACT","offered but declined")
OBSNOW("PATPORTALPIN","offered but declined")
endif
""
}
