Ophthalmology Exam Findings
On Ophthalmology exam templates, there are defined exam elements for each type of exam. Clicking the data fields corresponding to an exam element opens a picklist of findings appropriate for that element.
Normal Findings
- The normal finding for an element is the first item in the picklist.
- When a user selects the normal finding from the picklist, it appears in the field in black font.
Abnormal Findings
- When a user selects any findings from the picklist other than the first one, they appear in the field in red font.
- Abnormal or different findings also appear in the Physical Exam Abnormals data grids, found on the Eye Summary template. This template is opened from the Provider - OPH tab template.
- Abnormal exam findings appear in the grids with an " !" to distinguish them from normal findings.
If a normal default is changed in the Eye Configuration practice template, free-typing that finding causes the finding to appear in black font and not appear in the Physical Exam Abnormals grids on the Eye Summary template. However, the finding will need to be added to the picklist in Template Editor to find it easily.
