Printing patient history - can we default to NOT including charges ?

When nurses print patient history they often forget to untick patient charges - can we set a default to NOT include charges ?

That default setting currently sets the display option, so setting it as default to not display would be cumbersome (I prefer to see the charges)

That being said this is a template issue.

 Our template does not print invoice items by default.

 

Try uploading the patientClinicalEvent a4.jrxml found in the default distribution and seeing if it does what you need.

You may need to make some adjustments such as adding a logo or other information If your using it as a referral report.

It should be uploaded to replace the report that is currently classified as a 

Type: Patient Visit in the administration menu.

Jim - Ben beat me to it.  One other wrinkle: since the templates can be set on a practice location basis, you can in fact have two document templates in the system of type 'Patient Visit'.

Let us say that you have two templates of type 'Patient Visit' in the system, one named say 'Patient Clinical Event - wp' that shows the prices and one that does not named say 'Patient Clinical Event - np'.

You then add the template 'Patient Clinical Event - np' to the Practice Templates (using the Templates tab in Administration|Organisation|Practice|edit) - this then becomes the default template where no Patient Visit template is specified for a practice location.

If you have not currently got a practice location that you use for administrative stuff (that the ordinary staff do not use) create a practice location called say 'Admin', and add the template 'Patient Clinical Event - wp' to this practice location.

Now if anyone prints medical records from any practice location other than Admin, they get no prices. If you set the practice location to Admin, and print medical records, then you will get prices.

I don't understand why people want to do this, unless they think they don't charge enough.

 

We still have a neighbouring practice who uses a texta and fax machine when thy send histories!!! Funny, because the histories are usually shite and I would be using the texta on them ;)
