Hi Alan, We are in planning to redo all of our Education CDS's so that we can place the education assessment (IE: Patient learns best by:) at the beginning of each CDS. We are using the very same queries on ALL education CDS's that is used on the Admission Database. We then use DFT attributes to recall the last filed response(s). Here's how it works: The admitting nurse assesses the patient's learning ability, barriers, etc... After filling, any time education is documented, that information automatically defaults as the user enters through the screen. If something changes, they update the information and that is what will recall the next time anyone is documenting education! I know that there has been much discussion on the "L" regarding the pros and the cons are sharing queries on multiple CDS's. We already do this with many things and so far it has worked well for us! It is a nice way to get the same information stored in the same place regardless of what CDS it is filed on. It also makes building multiple CDS's much easier if you can copy it and then replace a few queries. Hope this helps, Kenny Whiteside Kenny Whiteside RN, BSN Patient Care Information Systems Catawba Valley Medical Center 810 Fairgrove Church Road Hickory, NC 28602 [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 08/02/2006 2:48:20 PM >>> All messages should be posted in plain text.

The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== Here's my challenge - I have a number of CDSs we will use to document our education activities. No problem.. We don't however, want to repeat the assessment of learning barriers and preferred methods of learning each time we document; that information is collected at the time the admission assessment. Any ideas how to pop up a screen (like an @W.err) that will check the queries on the admission database and return the barrier queries that are answered yes, as well as the preferred methods of learning queries which are answered yes. Such as: _________________________________________________________________________ This patient has the following learning barriers: Vision, Hearing, Receptive Aphasia | This patient prefers to learn by: Written instruction, visual demonstration, video | ________________________________________________________________________| If this screen would come up based on an IFE on the first query, to display before the user began the education documentation it would be great. Any/all suggestion appreciated. TIA Alan R.
