Guys,

Can the front office user be given only the view and add rights to patient Vitals and not the entire medical record? I cant figure out how to do it in the ACL……

This would be useful since here in our country, most of the doctors only hire a receptionist/secretary and let them take the vitals as soon as the patient arrives or just before entering the Doctors office.

Hi,

The ideal way to fix this is to create an ACO specific for vitals. Access to is is now controlled by the  patients->med ACO:
http://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/Access_Controls_Listing#Medical_Records_and_History_.28write.2Caddonly_optional.29_.28med.29

So, would need to create the new ACO, add it to the pertinent ACL (for default OpenEMR installations, will be added to all the ACL’s that already have the patients_>med ACO. Then you’d have the option to add this ACO to your Front Office ACL at Administration->ACL gui.

Note this means you need to code:
1. Add the new ACO
2. Add the new ACO to the ACLs
3. Place the new ACO in pertinent places in the codebase

Here’s some information of developing ACO/ACLs:

Hi,

For codebase changes like this, options are doing it yourself, getting a volunteer to do it or hiring a professional. This would be a useful feature to add to the official codebase, so if you do this (or hire somebody to do it), please consider contributing this feature to the official codebase.

Hi,
   I did some work similar to this for a client of mine.  You can find it here.
