I am an ophthalmologist trying to implement OpenEMR in a fledgling practice.
Our Outpatient is finding the implementation quite streamlined.
We have recently completed our first inpatient procedure as well.
we don’t have the budget to purchase commercial modules.
however i was not able to find any layout or procedure to admit the patient , enter the procedure notes, and discharge the patient .
we had to give a ‘made-up’ bill [valid , but constructed on MS word.] because we didn’t understand how to do it.
diagnosis was : left eye : Retinal detachment with single break.
the procedure was left eye : 25 gauge pars plana vitrectomy with membrane peeling with PFCL assisted subretinal fluid drainage with fluid air exchange with c3f8 gas injection under la.
the notes have to be very detailed, and also there is a post op follow up which can somehow be maintained in the outpatient form itself. but inpatient details such as anesthesia administered, notes, surgical notes , post op advise all of this is missing.
Hi @Dr_Aditya_Barigali ,
Open-emr comes with some forms that you would need to activate . Please look at Admin → Forms → Forms Administration to see if any form would work for you.
This is where my expertise is insufficient.
I’m truly lost in the configuration.
also i wasn’t able to find nation notes module. where is it ? because i have an ODT file template for both surgical notes and discharge summary. just want to be able to upload it , fill it and print it.
OpenEMR is optimized for outpatient practices though some work has been done on adapting it for inpatient work. You might check the forum thread on that topic to see if anybody has useful ideas:
