Patient history templates
Submitted by Guest on Fri, 10/09/2010 - 09:46
Hi eyeryone,
Is it possible to set up an automatic template when adding a note. e.g. in patient records, add "note" that has a template for the history.
I found "visit notes" in the template type but am unable to get this to add the visit note onto the patient history.
Cheers
Gill.
Patient history templates
Hi Gill,
Visit Notes in product templates was added to hold notes migrated from other systems but is not currently used.
Currently macros are the only way to create note templates and use in medical records. Macros can be anything up to 5000 characters of text that you can enter using codes the same way you do dispensing lables i.e 2bid 5d. They can be added in Adminstrtaion ->Lookups Macros. I suggest you create codes with some common prefix i.e @soap for a soap template etc. There is an active development project to allow you to list macros when you are entering notes. Also macros can be used anywhere you enter text in OpenVPMS i.e Invoice Notes etc
In the future the Visit Notes section in product templates will be implemented I am sure but not an active development project currently. :-)
Cheers
