Ok, O2 saturation is already on the vitals popup, as is respirations. Head circumeference though?? When is that useful? PEFR ... could add that. PC02 ... really only ER use I suspect.

Oops, your right, I see O2 is plainly in front of me. Yes, PCO2 would only be of interest to the ER. I'm not sure if synapse would ever be used in that environment. We do use PEFR on an ongoing basis in urgent care and a lot of primary offices do too with asthma tx and after nebulization tx. Head circumference would be routinely tracked for the first few months at least by primary offices (GP, peds) treating neonates and infants. The CDC has a head circumference vs age graph for it similar to the height and weight curve.
Using the quote button instead of the reply button oh .. well Synapse does have a place to enter this data for growth charts.
R213B18 I have a macro called *PIPs* which is defined as "$PIPs: list of all the PIP joints" The GUI definition for this is: Title: PIPs: list of all the PIP joints Type: O Code: group-box -1x-1 "" data [ hcheck-group 30x25 data [ "thumb IP" none "index PIP" none "middle PIP" none "ring PIP" none "little PIP" none ] ] Now you can have this in a consult: There was synovitis of his right *PIPs* Which could translate into There was synovitis of his right PIPs: index PIP, middle PIP
Beta 19 has these new macros that take the values from the vitals: *tempF* (Fahrenheit) *tempC* (Celcius) *o2* *resps* *bp* *systolic* *diastolic* *waist* (cms) *height* ( cms ) *heightins* (inches) *weight* (kgs) *weightlbs* (lbs) *bmi*

I think for myself I will make a way, maybe a GUI template to insert sets of vitals that have been taken after for followup after treatmentsin urgent care. I can just add the PEFR number when needed.
I'll get around to adding PEFR next time. At present I am going to do a little video showing how the gui and word macros can be mixed.
Graham called these .. macros ... We use the term macro already for systematically replacing text to generate a Visit Note. Pulling data (either labs or vitals, or whatever) to generate a note is a much more impressive task. We need a term that matches the coolness of this .... ideas ?
AutoPull ? AutoData ? I like the word Auto in it, because it requires little end user work (which is very good !). MacroPull ? AutoElement ? (ie. automatically pull data elements ?) ideas .. ?
I'm not quite sure which word processing program first coined the term "macro" for blocks of text (and/or inserted keystrokes as well--in effect a mini-program)inserted with a singlekeystrokebut I think it was Word Perfect. Word would call a word processing field that displays a data field a "Form Field" or just a "Field". Titling a text widget that gets its data from another column in the database a "Field" seems pretty generic to me. "Element" sounds like "data element" which wouldn't be quite right either. SQL would call a table subset or superset a "view" (unless it was a query). "Repeated Data Field" would be fairly accurate, but "Autofilled Data Field" orjust "Autofilled Field" or even "Auto Field"sort of gets at the desired action.
[quote user="Graham"]New video showing the construction of a mixed gui and word macro. [/quote] I got super excited when I saw that template pop up ! After some feverish debate, this new method of pulling vitals into a note is going to be called "Macro Variables" But, in the documentation it could be referred to a "automatically pulling data" into the visit note. As to be more descriptive to users.
Oh Hi jparkdo ...I missed this. Great little summary of Computing here. Long live WordPefect 5.1 for DOS, the great WP of all time.
I like Jerry's "Autofilled" Data Field. Let's go with calling them Data Fields. Autofilled Data Fields has a nice ring.
Jason, that's a hilariousscreen from WP 5.1 - I still remember some of the keystrokes (shift+F7=print, etc). I was just rambling back to see if I could think of anything that has any historical or logical basis for a descriptive name. Maybe it would be more intuitive to users if it had some basis in previous usage.

This is working now in a template macro Hb @718-7,3 leads to this type of output Hb 15-Sep-2007 164.0 g/L OCR 21-Jul-2007 159.0 g/L M.P.S 31-May-2007 166.0 g/L OCR ie. it pulls in the last 3 Hb results for this patient
Now this is pretty cool ... I can define a word macro *ESR* as "Serial ESRs @4537-7,3" and this pulls in the last three ESRs.
