A Template is a Set of Tests. The Doctor can create
Any number of templates in each of the following:
- VT: Vitals
- HP: History of Present Illness
- SH: Social History
- RS: Review of Systems
- PH: Physical Exam
- SC: Specialty
For Example, in case of Physical Exam, the set of tests to be executed
will be different for Adult Male, Adult Female, Children, and Very Old
people. He can create a Template for each, with the appropriate set of
Tests. During an Encounter he can select the right Template.
The system displays all the lists of tests in the Database grouped Class
wise whose Group Number is "0". For the template just check
the required Tests. Please note that only Tests under Group No. zero are
displayed here. When Results for any one of these tests are entered and
sub-question set is applicable, they will get included at run time.
Templates are of Two Types. System Template and Doctor Template. Note
the Subtle Difference between the two. When a Administrator creates them
in option Settings \ Configuration \ Test Templates , they are flagged
as System Templates. These will typically be common for the whole clinic.
If the option is invoked by choosing Settings \ My Preferences \ Templates
they are flagged as logged in Doctor specific Templates.
When Any Doctor needs to select a Template during an Encounter, he is
Shown a list of Templates created by him, followed by the System Templates.
He can then select anyone of them.
For Specialty and Clinic Forms, a Form Template for printing can be associated.
Copy Template: Displays a list of Clinic preferred templates to choose and copy from.
In case of Specialty Template
User can select multiple associated CPTs by selecting them from the search button provided next to CPT text field.
User can select multiple associated HCPCs.
A copy of an existing Template can be created using the "save
as..." button.
Export button: User enters a filename
explicitly. The program then creates a XML file. This will contain details
of all the Tests selected in Template. All the fields for each of the
selected Test will be present in the XML. The XML Tags for the Test Fields
will be same as the Database Field Names. Note that the Template displays
Only the list of Tests which have Group No 0. A Test could Zoom to say
Group No 100, 200. Each of the question under Group 100 or 200 could further
zoom to other groups. The program finds all such questions and also includes
them in the exported XML file.
Import button: The program selects
a file using the Browser from the client machine, and tries to Import
the XML into the current Template option. Note that if is possible to
export a ROS template and import it into PH. In short Template Type used
will be Current, Not from XML file. The Category / System / Class code
read from XML if Not present will be added to the Database. The Test Code
if Not present will be added to the Database. In case of Duplicate tests
select an option
a) Ignore this XML test
b) Update the Test with Current contents
c) Add the Test with new Test Code.
