Set up GET Template Notification Data Trigger

The Get Template Notification Data trigger can be used to store and/or display data sent from the Graphical Exam Tool (GET) when a user performs certain actions in NextGen® Enterprise EHR. For example, the trigger can be executed when a user selects an annotation on an active image, selects finding or action hyperlinks in the Findings Grid, or updates the patient's reason for visit.

Before you create this trigger, set up a text data entry field or variable on your template to hold the notification parameter. If you set up Template Popup options for a finding, procedure, or lab order in a GET profile, use this trigger together with a Template Pop-Up trigger. The Get Template Notification Data trigger pulls the name of the Popup template into the notification parameter field, and the Template Pop-Up trigger launches that template.

  1. Follow the applicable steps in General Trigger Setup.
  2. In the Trigger Info window, select the following:
    1. Template Notify from the Event list.
    2. GET Template Notification Data from the Action list .
    The Get Template Notification Data window opens.

  3. In the Notification Parameters section, select the field or variable you want to assign each parameter to.
  4. In the Component Properties section, select the field or variable you want to assign each property to.
  5. Select OK.
  6. If necessary, set up a specific condition for the Get Template Notification Data action to be triggered.
  7. Select OK and save your template.
