I’m wondering if there is any trick to entering issues more quickly than typing in one (or clicking on the few examples), entering, and pulling up a new entry box. It is taking quite a lot of time to get OpenEMR set up with this information the first time I see a patient. If there was some way I could type all the problems at one time, all the allergies, all the medications, and surgeries as opposed to using the entry box it could go much more quickly.
Quickest way is to paste your list of issues into clickoptions.txt (c:\xampp\htdocs\openemr\sites\default). That file also has the instructions on how to do it.
Thank you but that’s not really what I was looking for. Increasing the number of issues available helps somewhat, but I’m looking for a way to more quickly add issues for each individual patient. There probably is no answer, but I was hoping for a way to just type out a list of issues for a patient rather than going to the entry issue each time. It is taking quite a long time to enter patients for the first time, and anything to speed this up would help.
I should elaborate a little more on this. All I want is the name of the medical problem, medication, allergy, etc and not all the details in the box on initial entry. The goal this month is to get in this basic information and then have details added over the next couple of months. Therefore if there was some way to just list off medications, etc, it would save a lot of time and get things prepared for adding more detail in the furure.
It’ll be great if each new diagnosis or medications is automatically added to the problem & medication list. Then use that same list and make it available as a button list to be used for daily diagnosis on each visit.
