Custom Templates with Custom Order Triggers

You can customize the templates with custom order triggers to satisfy a care guideline. If you have a customized template that are not NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine templates, and is used to upload the completed orders for patients, it is still possible to map test or code information to update care guidelines. While individual table or template fields cannot be used, almost any order that is submitted from a template with an Upload Extended Data trigger to the order_ table can be mapped to update a guideline. Review the details of the triggers on the template to obtain the test or code information being inserted to the order_ table. Also verify that the details of the Upload Extended Data trigger are correct and valid for the guideline that is being updated. Create a Custom Upload Extended Data Trigger to Update Care Guidelines You can use a custom template with a custom trigger on a test patient to satisfy a care guideline.

Obtaining Test or Code Information for a Documented Screening on the Screening Tools Template

You can obtain the test or code information for a documented screenings to satisfy a care guideline. The screenings that are documented on the Screening Tools template grid is uploaded to the order_ table. So in most cases, these can be mapped to care guidelines. The mapped screening items do not use codes, instead they use the description of the screening to complete the guideline, so it is important to make sure the spelling is correct in these instances. The guideline type needs to match exactly (MPROT = Screening), therefore some guidelines may not complete with this setup. For example, trying to use a screening to satisfy a lab-based guideline does not work correctly.
