There are six additional fields on the Patient Information file that can be user-defined. Therefore, each clinic has the option to track values or information which may be important to them. Each user-defined code can track multiple result values that are available to choose from within the Patient Information screen.
The software comes with six user-defined fields which can be customized to allow users to choose from any number of selections. (Note the user-defined codes must first be set up within CONFIGURE SYSTEM SETTINGS > SYSTEM > Company Parameters.)
Select from the drop down list which of the user defined codes are to be edited.
Once the user-defined code to review has been selected, a new window will open. Within this window, users can add or edit which values will be available to choose within the Patient Information screen in drop down lists.
Click ADD to add user-defined code values. For example, to track MARITAL STATUS for patients, you would set up MARRIED, SINGLE, WIDOWED, DIVORCED etc within the user-defined values.
Click CHANGE to view or edit an existing user-defined code.
Checking INACTIVE will prevent this value from being shown in respective drop-down lists.
Click SAVE to store any changes.
Click EXIT to close the window.
