Health Certificate/Vaccination Date

P had an appointment for Exam/Health Certificate to fly. P was vaccinated month's ago but the date on the certificate shows the exam date. Why doesn't it pick up the date the rabies vx was administered? I can't find a way to edit/correct. Can this be done? TIA

Actually, this was just brought up in a meeting last week as an issue for us as well.  I must admit that I never noticed it until it was brought to my attention.  I found that it affects all sorts of documents that are included in the patient record.  I haven't tried yet, but I was planning on seeing if there was a way to access the OVPMS creation date from within the .odt/.doc template instead of using the editor's internal Date field.

If you manually create a vaccination certificate after the event, it can't easily be linked back to when the vaccination was given [1].

A vaccination certificate is usually just a Patient Form or Patient Letter where the template uses the startTime field to indicate when the vaccination was done.

For this to work, the Form/Letter needs to be generated when the vaccination was given.

This can be done automatically by associating the certificate with the vaccination product via the vaccination product's Documents tab [2]

When the vaccination product is invoiced, a corresponding Patient Form/Patient Letter containing the certificate will be added to the patient's history.

[1] it is possible to generate a listing of vaccinations given, and on which dates, but this must be done in a Jasper Report template. See the history:medication() functions for details. Alternatively, it would be straightforward to generate a report that listed all of the products dispensed for a patient of a particular Product Type.

You could resolve this a few ways - 

1. Create a custom letter certificate you can add after the fact that has a field for the vaccinated date. plus other info.

2. As Tim suggested above - if you don't have medical record locking you can manually adjust the created date before you select the template you want to add and just use the default form  - keeping in mind it won't have an associated product.

You can access the 'startDate' in all reports ODT or JRXML - just add it as a field.

I thought most of the included documents used it already.

They will just use a document generation or printed date for any fields that date a signature

Hi Ben,

Thanks.  Got it all sorted now.  We had written some customized patient letters and I had mistakenly used OpenOffice's Date field in them.  Changed those fields to startTime and now all is good.  Took a few tries to get it formatted the way we wanted but no real problems.
