Patty - This happens in pharmacy (on page one of the customer defined parameters you can pick Dubois, Haycock, or Other). This then displays on the patient profile. Perhaps you could use this?

Thanks very much, Patty     _______________________________________________ meditech-l mailing list meditech-l@MTUsers.com http://mtusers.com/mailman/listinfo/meditech-l ***** CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE ***** This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.
