Hi guys,
Kindly help me,I want to add two extra fields on the Vitals Form. Which is the best way to go about this?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Abdalla,

This will involve coding changes in the vital signs form scripts at interface/forms/vitals/

Out of curiosity, what fields are you adding?

Hi Brandy,
Thanks for you quick reply. I have a requirement from a Clinic I support. They want to add the below two fields:

  1.  Random blood sugars

  2.  Glycosylated Hb/Hb1AC

Hi Abdalla,

This has been mentioned before. If not necessary to have this on the vitals, other options include using the Procedures/Labs module or the Track Anything Form/Module.

If really need to have it on the vitals form, then will need to edit pertinent places in interface/forms/vitals/ scripts and add the 2 new columns to the form_vitals mysql table.

Hi Brandy,
I think for them it will be necessary to have it on the Vitals form because it is a specialized diabetics/dialysis clinic.

Hi Abdalla,
I have the same request to add to the vitals the values for Glucose and HbA1c, did you solve it?
Can you share what you needed to modify?
Thanks in advance,
