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 types in OpenEMR?

Thanks,
Willy

maybe something simple like under patient history->other, there’s a list of key->value pairs

Hello

Since the Blood type value will be unique for a patient. It can be added under demographics of the patient.

You can add fields(to add blood type) to the demographics layout, under “Administration->Layouts->Demographics” screen.
