Hey all,
I am working on getting my nurse's menus set up, so I
have wandered onto the issue of vitals. I want to
write what I have learned, because I can't find a
documentation manual on the vitals package (GMRV)
1. Here are the possible vitals that VistA can track:
ABDOMINAL GIRTH AG
AUDIOMETRY AUD
BLOOD PRESSURE BP
CENTRAL VENOUS PRESSURE CVP
CIRCUMFERENCE/GIRTH CG
FETAL HEART TONES FT
FUNDAL HEIGHT FH
HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE HC
HEARING HE
HEIGHT HT
PAIN PN
PULSE P
PULSE OXIMETRY PO2
RESPIRATION R
TEMPERATURE T
TONOMETRY TON
VISION CORRECTED VC
VISION UNCORRECTED VU
WEIGHT WT
2. Some Menus for entering vitals:
TPR B/P Wt. and Pain [GMRV TPRBW]
Edit a Vital/Measurement Entered in Error [GMRV ERROR
EDIT]
Vitals/Measurement Data Entry ... [GMRV V/M ENTRY
MENU]
3. In the above menus, there is no way to enter all
the vital signs listed above (i.e. fundal height).
Here are some modifications that could be changed to
add this functionality.
First, there are menus such as GMRV PULSE to enter
just pulse, or GMRV WEIGHT for entering weight, or
combo menu potions such as GMRV TPR B/P ROUTINE for
entering temp,pulse,bp etc. Each of these menus
executes a similar line of code:
D ENTACT^GMRVED4 I $D(GMRVDBA) S GMRENTY=2 D
EN2^GMRVED0
The difference between the options is the GMRENTY=x
part.
Here are the possible values for GMRENTY:
GMRENTY=1:"T;P;R;PN;"
GMRENTY=2:"T;P;R;BP;PN;"
GMRENTY=3:"T;P;R;BP;HT;WT;PN;"
GMRENTY=4:"T;P;R;BP;WT;PN;"
GMRENTY=5:"T;P;R;BP;"
GMRENTY=6:"BP;P;"
GMRENTY=7:"P;"
GMRENTY=8:"WT;"
GMRENTY=19:"CG;"
GMRENTY=18:"PN"
GMRENTY=20:"PO2;"
GMRENTY=21:"CVP;"
The string, e.g. "T;P;R;BP;PN;", is then parsed, and
each relevent value is input.
I haven't completely picked through this part yet, but
it should be just a matter of extending the code to
accept other symbols.
I am working on this because I want to be able to
enter height someday.
Hope this helps someone.
Kevin
