Hi Everyone,
I have been trying to enter patient blood type in OpenEMR. I searched the User’s guide very thoroughly but still unable to find a direct way to do this. Can you please give me some guidance on how to enter blood type in OpenEMR?
Thanks,
Willy

Create Blood Type as a new Issue.
Administration->Lists->Issue Types.
Follow the example for Medications and assign Order as 60.

Since Bloodgroup is a static field, never changes during a lifetime… I would try the Demographic page:
Layout, Demographic, first generic field change into Bloodgroup etc. make the other generic fields unused.

Blood type will likely change after a allogeneic stem cell transplant

Pimm,
Were you in Windows 7 or Linux when creating those nice, fat red arrows?
Using Paint or equivalent in Linux?
G-Paint has only skinny rectangles & circles, no other forms. Never got the hang of Gimp.

Jing from TechSmith. Freeware. (In most programs you can vary the size thickness etc of lines, arrows, vary color and text, but need some digging into the stettings)
The only negative of Jing in free version: it saves in png format. Some websites don’t like png.

Okey, dokey; Jing in Windows.
Paint in Windows 7 does the same; but with big arrows, the pixels of the point of the arrow become disjointed.
.Png gives the best resolution for screenshots, so it’s preferred.

Are you speaking as “an official”, representing SCIENCE? Or are you guessing… and what blood type are you referring to. There are so many, but most different blood types are of no relevance, except for the transplant facilities.
Do we have Transplant Facilities using OpenEMR?
We are in urgent need of brain transplantations… not excluding myself ;-))

Pimm,
You’re not in the loop.
Even if waterboarded, not gonna spill it.
