I am new to openemr and not quite sure of its capabilities. Is there any way to add a url or hyperlink as part of patient data to bring in an external document or display an external page?
I would possibly want to add this as an additional section when a patient is selected under Labs or perhaps in the documents view(I see you can add custom Document sections). The data is hosted and updated in another system so uploading it really wouldn’t work.
Ideally it would be a hyperlink with the injection of ExternalID. Something similar is available in epic where a url can be added that when selected will display the linked web page within an embedded browser.
What about Rod’s way of importing patient information with Wordpress activity and connections. CMS portal.
Steep learning curve, but once understood it is a great way of importing any kind of document and place it into any part of the OpenEMR directory or medium for files.
If this is not what you wanted to know, possibly look at:
Left menu => Miscellaneous => Patient information…
Or it could be time to create a “Module => Manage Modules” (See left menu) for “your wishes”… I still don’t understand the “WHY” this was included, and why the choices are still empty (Regitered and Unregistered Modules) in the DEMO latest version.
I did see some information about the CMS Portal, but it looked like it would only be for wordpress. There wouldn’t be wordpress in this case. The information to be retrieved is intended to be “live” data. It could be pulled in as a webpage or a pdf, but it is desirable that with either option, it would be regenerated at the time it was viewed in openEMR.
hmmm. I didn’t see a NationNote right away though I do see several types of Notes under patient info. I’ll have to explore a little to see if this helps me.
Wordpress works in CMS like an intermediate (noting to do with the usual BLOG function of Wordpress). “The input” will go through Wordpress, Ninja and some more software solutions. A very sophisticated way to upload any kind of information, check and reroute it to the correct patient or general spot in OpenEMR. The patient/any person with the correct permissions can do it or the doctor can do it.
Patient specific documents stored in operating system / couchdb are indexed with a hyperlink stored in the documents table along with description of what that document is all about. One can leverage that mechanism to just store hyperlink without physical document.
This mechanism could be very useful in eligibility checks from 3rd party sites, viewing radiology documents stored externally etc… Will have to tweak how patient reports handle it.
If you do want the snapshot to be stored in EMR for legal reasons, in the document upload function you could try typing in the URL as source which will download the page to browser cache and then upload the content to EMR server. So if you want to prove to the insurance company that on a particular date their website showed patient with coverage for xyz, you would store the output of the url.

The first icon, depicted in above group, had been intended for image insertion. In reality it does not lend itself to this function readily, but can be used to insert a URL instead.
See this for more details & other 2 companion articles regarding the setup of a NationNote.
NationNotes are not included in each copy of OpenEMR. They must be built.
After opening the WYSIWYG editor; in the third row of the tool bar, second from the left, the first icon of the group is the desired.
In MS-Word you can click a text link URL with CTR-CLICK and this brings you to the URL. If something like this not possible in NationNotes or LBV-forms?
Just a thought.
For me the question is still vague, what do you want to achieve? Click+Ctr could open a new Tab or even a new event of FireFox. Is this what is asked for? Copy <=> Paste. etc…
