Ad 1. You open your Openemr. As soon as you see a picture you want to replace with your own, do the following:
Open the picture or the frame => (right-click) into a new tab.
Click the picture with you right mouse button and see in the URL space where this picture is located.
Download the picture, make something more beautiful and attractive as the old one, be sure to make it with equal size and extension.
Save with the name of the picture you want to replace (first rename the picture you took downloaded from OpenEMR, upload the new image with the same old name on the spot of the downloaded picture (need to delete the old one or replace the old one.
ad 2. Search for you patient. Open an encounter, click on summary, make your report as wanted, un-mark the unwanted extras, create report, print report… html of pdf
You can also make your own LBF-Visit forms and use the summary report function to print a LBF-visit form report with the name of the client on top.
For starters: OpenEMR is overwhelming with options. First thing first. If you think picture of your own office is important, learn how to replace a picture within the folders of the OpenEMR system.
Reports: There are now three options. fsgl mentioned one. Rather difficult to change for semi professionals if you want more compared to the option available. Better start learning the LBF-Visit forms with the=m nay options. Or wait till Version V 4.1.3 as presented. Also in the demo version:
192.168.1.130
OpenEMR: http://demo.open-emr.org:2104/openemr
Last menu option left hand side, you find Document and Templates. There you can make your own version of a form in the Free Office software as mentioned in the WIKI pages. Create your form, include your choice of the fields available, upload and use the Document to be found in Summary and preview and print the form of your likings. Or first download the form into OpenOffice write and make some extra changes. Upload under a different name or print and send through e-mail program of your choice.
Letter is the oldest and most basic way to create a report. Only the option letter makes a single copy of a report. Referral make some kind of a report and has three sections.
One for referral,
one to use as a copy to get some info back from the referred doctor
one extra copy for the Client (or for the doctors files. referral is included in an other part of OpenEMR: Client, summary, transactions. Only transactions make a letter type referral of the strike through part above. All other options including a new one create within administration, list, Patient notes types, make a short remak that can be printed through summary report.
“Letter” is something from the good old times that OpenEMR doctors were using something “the others” could not match, Digital information. But now you want to send digital info by e-mail from within. OpenEMR or OpenOffice. Oh sorry and yes indeed sometimes, you need to use it for people that don’t have a computer to be used for information exchange…
Thanks for your prompt reply. I was trying to do it as simple as possible. So I put in the practice logo. Let’s say after a dictation, I select report, printable view etc. However the logo and patient name is on the first page only and ideally should be on each page when printing. ( see attachment)
Regarding setting up LBF and custom letters I have not seriously looked at those options.
To accomplish the name and picture on every page, you need to chanfe the HTML file that is used for this report. Rather complicated if you are not a Developer with knowledge of the OpenEMR system. It can be done, since it is OpenEMR. I tried, but did not accomplish, my knowledge of php, html etc was not enough. But if you know what you are doing it should be rather ease.
Using the demo link OpenEMR: http://demo.open-emr.org:2104/openemr as you suggested and the PDF tag seem to put the name and DOB on each page. Can you say when this is going to be released so I can upgrade.
There is a Demo version to download. At the moment we are in a stable situation. If you use it on a local machine it is easy to upload and use, just follow the upgrade instructions for 4.1.2 You might have to include some of the Security advises if you think there might be spying eyes. Or wait. Ask Brady if and when there might be a new version. Tell him to count me in for a GO!!!
Remember to also install OpenOffice to get Document and templates going.
I spoke too soon. In 4.1.3_dev the pdf link seems to try and compress the report on one page no matter how long. The second page seems to be blank. Hope that’s fixed before the release.
4.1.3 release is not on the horizon as all effort is going to MU 2.
If dob is not needed as a special field, replace it with pid in each line of the script. Try it on a test copy. Backup before attempt on production copy.
