How to identify obs value added by phone note or office visit?
Posted : July 5, 2018 4:02 am
Go into the Flowsheet view for the patient, find the occurrence (under the date column) for the OBS code. Double click on it, and the second line is the properties - type of encounter, date, and by whom.
If trying to do via a report, OBS entries have an SDID field; use that field to link to the DOCUMENT table.

Is it possible in MEL?
Posted : July 5, 2018 11:53 pm
Yes, should be possible using MEL. The command you want to research is LIST_OBS.
There are eleven fields returned, and you will probably want to retrieve the data into an array so that you can cycle through the various entries.

|---|---|---|
| 1 | Observation Value | 69 |
| 2 | Observation Date | 01/01/2003 |
| 3 | Observation Time | 5:05:00 PM |
| 4 | Signing User | Jerry Lewis, M.D.
