Manual Entry of Parity Values

For a disabled parity auto-calculation, you can either update the parity manually after entering in the Pregnancy Outcomes in the Pregnancy history grid or you can enter parity numbers without entering the details.

The values added in the Pregnancy History grid appear in the Pregnancy Outcome template.

  1. On the Patient Information Card in NextGen® Enterprise EHR, select OBGYN.
    The OBGYN Synopsis template opens.
  2. In the Pregnancy History grid, enter the values in the Parity section.
    The G and P fields display the values as entered in the Parity fields.
  3. In the Pregnancy History grid, select the Add/Update Detail button in the OBGYN Synopsis template.
    The Pregnancy Outcomes template displays with red text on top of the template.
