Add a Mapping

You can add a new measure or update an existing measure at any time on the Coded Results Mapping template.

1. Open NextGen® Enterprise EHR.
2. Open the Coded Results Mapping template.
3. Expand the Certification Custom Data Mapping panel.
   

4. Select the Table name field and select the table holding the data field used for the measure being reported.
5. Select the Field name field and select the data field used for the measure being reported.
   Note:

   • The Data type and Length fields display the data type and the length of the selected field.
   • The Data option field opens a calendar or number pad based on the data type defined for the selected field:
     • For a Date data type, a calendar to enter a date opens for the field.
     • For a decimal or numeric data type, a number pad to enter a value opens for the field.

       The Option name field is enabled.

6. Select the Option name field to select the appropriate option in the list. At runtime, if a user enters a data value using the number pad, the system concatenates the selected unit to the entered value.

   For example, if Data option selected is a percentage, at runtime, if the user enters 50 in the Data value field, the system shows the data as 50%.

   • For a Data type of text, clicking the Data option field opens a list allowing you to select either Custom dbpicklist or Free text field.
   • For Custom dbpicklist, the Option name field is enabled. Clicking the field allows you to select the appropriate custom DB picklist in the list
   • For other data types such as Memo, Time, and Note, the field defaults to a text entry field.
7. In the Data Description field, type a meaningful description for the mapping.
   Note:

   • If you want users to be able to add data to the description at runtime, type <free text> at each location where users can provide text, for example, Wasted Medication <free text>.
   • You can use the Clear button to clear the entered or selected field values.
8. Select Add.
   The record is added to the grid, and the record count is increased.
