Hi, I wonder if it is possible to customize the main ‘Patient’ page. I have a request for removing some of the widgets on the ride side but add other info there.
Thank you for any pointer to how this could be accomplished.

Hello Merlin

To remove the widgets on the right side of patient demographics screen, you may need to look into the following two files:

interface/patient_file/summary/demographics.php
interface/patient_file/summary/stats.php

Also, to add new items, customization of the above mentioned files will be needed.

Thank you so much, ViSolve!

Do you know if there is some kind of developer info where I could learn how the code is orgainzed, the api to get to the data in a consistent fashion, etc?

Hello Merlin

From our understanding, there is no such explicit documentation available to understand OpenEMR code organization. To start with you can learn each functionality, by going through the code and knowing how the functions are implemented and organized.

Thanks, ViSolve - that will make for a pretty steep learning curve, doesn’t it.

Hi ViSolve,
am I right in assuming that you do customization for a fee?
If that is the case could you give me an idea of how much a customization of the main patient screen would be. What we would need is to get rid of one (or some) of t he wdgets on the right side, but add one that would show the surgical history.
Thanks,
Merlin

Hello,

Is this what you mean…the Surgeries (surgery) Medical Issue widget is switched on in…

Admin > Lists > Issue Types (Force Show (Default) surgery).

Other medical issues widgets can be switched off here.

Other widget types can be deactivated elsewhere in Admin.

Regards,

epsdky.

Thank you so much, epsdky!
I thought that there should be something like that - so glad that it is in fact.

Hi epsdky,
now that I have this widget on the screen - it appears I need some guidance on how to use it - could you please help me out with this?
If there is a manual entry, just point me to it, otherwise:
I added a surgery, but it does not show in the widget when I am at the main patient screen. When I click on Edit for the surgeries I do see the surgery I entered. So how would I populate this widget with relevant data that also shows on the patient overview?
Would there be a way that surgeries that the patient had in the clinic, all recorded in encounters, would show up?
Thanks
Merlin

Hello,

Where exactly were you adding the surgery?

These are the access points for the Surgeries widget that I am aware of (apart from the widget itself)…

Patient Summary > Issues > Surgeries

Encounter Summary > Patient Encounter > Issues > Surgery

Regards,

epsdky.

You are correct about where to enter this information, but Surgeries does not show in the summary page. It does show when clicked in summary => Issues

The Surgeries widget can be configured to appear in the Patient Summary (right side).
