Trying to make maximum use of all functionalities in OEMR.
I am aware that Interfaces for Radiology and Laboratory are still under developement but I am making do with what is available in the 4.0 development tip.
Currently, procedure results page for laboratory and imaging services in one, combining the two. there are times when a radiology report is quite lengthy (and sometimes even Laboratory reports e.g histology). In their wisdom, the developers have allowed free text entry into a field called “comments” accessed by clicking on the “Name (click for more)” column. This is very handy.
However, I find the text area too small. Is there a setting somewhere i can change to adjust the textarea dimensions to accommodate more text (while all the text is still visible-I am aware of the scrolling mechanism).
Nice to see more folks trying out the procedure stuff!
You could poke around in interface/orders/orders_results.php if you want to take a whack at the comment area sizing yourself. Or you could hire a pro (like me) to make the size configurable.
You can find and alter the prescription label warning by going to Administration -> Other -> Files and selecting “config.php”.
Be sure to make a backup before doing any of these things.
This is related to the first question. Regarding LBV forms, I am unable to change the height of teaxtarea datatype fields. Size in the layout page seems to refer to the width(sometimes controlled by no. of columns setting in other parts of the software) and there is no way to adjust the number of “rows” the field should span.
Could someone please point me to the right direction here: a setting, a file i can edit etc.
// For a textarea (data type 3) max_length has a special meaning, to
// specify its height (in rows). This kludge assigns a fixed height,
// but this GUI really needs to support max_length directly.
$max_length = $data_type == 3 ? 3 : 255;
if ($field_id) {
sqlStatement("UPDATE layout_options SET " .
“title = '” . formTrim($iter)
Change the second “3” to a number of your choice representing rows.
For some reason, the results may not be visible until you open the form in layouts and do a save. This may actually be useful as a way to have different settings for different forms: Enter desired value in the PHP file for form 1, edit form 1 layout and save. Change the settings to those needed for a new or pre-existing form 2(without opening and saving form one in layouts after setting change) create and save form 2 etc. In this manner, as far as I can tell so far, each for can be controlled independently will test further on groups etc.
Does anyone know of an easier way to customize form rows for individual textarea data type?
