Chuck von Dohrmann RN Newton-Wellesley Hospital Newton, MA -----Original Message----- From: Kenny Whiteside [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 21, 2006 9:17 AM To: [email protected]; Von Dohrmann, Charles Subject: Re: [MEDITECH-L] Attribute Help - Alert message to change IVsite Hi Chuck, FCL attributes only evlauate (run) if the response that is in the query was entered between the time that the cursor stop and left the query response (a new response). That is why it only displays the first time. If the user moves back through the CDS queries, the response is no longer a new response and the FCL will not execute again (after all, that response has already been checked). Second, if the query is a date type query, although the display is in mm/dd/yy format, @.response is stored in internal date format so it is not neccessary to use the Z utility to convert it. Third, if you want your message to display if the date is equal to or less than the current date, rather than using two FCL's, use the logic "IF the response is not greater than(represented with the apostrope)today, then ..." Finally, if you really want the message to display every time the cursor moves back through the query, use an IFE attribute on the next query that looks something like this: IFE=IF{/[ANS%0,"DATEQUERY"]|0'>@.today @W.return("IV Site is due to IFE= be changed today - if unable to, document action.")} Replace DATEQUERY with your date query's mnemonic.

HTML will be converted to attachments. The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== To Meditech-Lers: I am a first time user of the Meditech-L. I would like to use this attribute to assist our IV Team in alerting the floor staff as to when an implanted port needs to be reaccessed. FCL1=IF{%Z.date.in(@.response)=(@.today) @W.return("IV Site is due to FCL1= be changed today - if unable to, document action.");""} FCL2=IF{%Z.date.in(@.response)<(@.today) @W.return("IV Site change is FCL2= OVERDUE! Change or document reason it can't be.");""} It is attached to a query that displays the reaccess date. However when testing it I only receive the popup on the first pass. I went in as a different user and did not receive the popup. Most of our ports are reaccessed during the day shift and I am concerned that if only the night shift gets the message it would not be a help. Thanks in advance for any assistance that you can give me.
