What date format do you have OpenEMR configured to use? If it’s anything other than YYYY-MM-DD that would explain it. If not, then I’d have to think about it more.

We are having a problem with the allscript / OEMR integration. All is working fine except one area. When we click the allscripts button next to the patient name and the allscripts window opens the patient name information is not populated in allscripts and the search button is not automatically clicked.

The 'upload from OEMR" button on the Allscripts page is working great. The problem is downloading the patient info from OEMR to Allscripts for the patient search function.

Our IT guy found a problem in the written script. The first name, last name in the script did not match the first name last name of the field in OpenEMR, so would not populate. Also, these fields were cleared before the search option was initiated. Our IT guy made some script changes to at least populate the first name last name fields and retrain them. Right now we still have to press the search button manually. Can a developer there test this problem we are having and make a permanent change?

Script changes have been emailed to you. Did you receive them? You can reply to our IT guy who sent the changes to you.
thx

Are the changes in the script will be uploaded to share with the community?

Are you having the same issues ? I haven’t really had time to evaluate them, but here are the changes mjbcork’s colleague proposes.

The current one has worked fine for me under windows with firefox. It would be nice to have one that populated the script info back into the script part of openemr. Currently you have to do that manually.

I have been doing a bunch of research into meaningful use (probably not as much as @cverk, but i digress), and I wanted to point out some subtleties that are worth mentioning:
1.) ePrescribing, by force, is not a part of openemr. Also, ePrescribing is its own separate CMS program http://www.cms.gov/eprescribing/ That being said, by my interpretation, the functionality for ePrescribing does not have to integrate with your EHR/EMR for Stage 1 MU 2012. Now, if an EHR/EMR is certified that has its own built in access to ePrescribing networks, thats fine; but using allscripts and openemr modularly as @cverk did is in full compliance with CMS. That is, so long as its been added to your ‘cart’ on the ONC website.
2.) It has been stated on the CMS website itself, as well as in the final rule, that for 2012 Stage 1 MU, the ONLY measures that NEED to be automatically calculated by the EHR is CQMs. The rest of the numerators and denominators can be obtained through any means (by hand, electronically, script scraping of records, record extraction, oracle divination, etc.) Allscripts use in this manner does not violate ANY measure. Especially as the script is client side. Technically, you wouldn’t even need the script IMHO, so long as you used Allscripts for eRx and it was already in your cart when you received your CMS EHR Certification ID. You would be entering a LOT of things by hand, the the intent of the meaningful use measure is to USE eRx to reduce errors and improve patient outcomes. There is even more delineation in the CMS final rule that states they are wary of making any such decree that would pretend to dictate to the states how to interact with national eRx networks.
It bears mentioning that ONC-ATB certification is separate from CMS attestation. This confusion arises as workflows are extremely different for each doctor. If one doctor decides to provide clinical summaries in a manner different from another doctor, then is he wrong? What if he decides to do so in a manner different from how the openemr foundation demonstrated to the ONC-ATB? Does that mean that all doctors are wrong when it comes to CMS attestation if they didn’t do so in a manner similar to how OpenEMR foundation did? These are the questions that worry me. I called for it before in another thread, but I do think that there should be a page dedicated to how and in what manner openemr passed each ONC measure, to give doctors an idea of where and what they could swap in. For one, drug-drug and drug-allergy checks: was that done with newcrop? If so, is it now done through Allscripts or does this happen through the CDR engine being populated with rules that a doctor can create? And once I get into that can of worms: couldn’t the CDR engine rules be created such that it now counts as a drug formulary? By the final rule, with no standard being necessary for drug formularies and no distinction between internally developed and externally sourced, I would think yes!
The main thing is, AMC measures: http://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/Description_AMC#AMC_Measures is a good start.
Just my two cents. Please message me if you agree/disagree, as I need someone else to bounce my ideas off of.
