Chart data fields provide the ability to insert default values for items whose values are not populated by HL7 messages. This configuration is appropriate for items available through the chart data fields whose value is a constant. Using chart data fields to define default values is not appropriate for items whose values might vary.

For example, if all charts to be created for a facility will have the same Facility Name, but the HL7 message used to create charts does not contain a value for Facility Name (PV1.3.4), you can use Chart Data Fields Configuration to insert a default value that will apply to all charts created.

As an example, the following procedure describes how to implement a default value for the Facility Name field.

  1. From the Configuration module, select Medical | Charts | Data Fields.
  2. Select the Facility Name chart data field and click Settings.
  3. Remove the HL7 location value from the HL7 Reference Field and change the value to =[Facility Name], where [Facility Name] represents the name of the facility.

    For example, =Hyland-Westlake would be an appropriate value for the Hyland Hospital Facility in Westlake.

    Note:

    The name you select should be the same name as the HL7 Field Specifier for Medical Facility Settings.

    Note:

    The value you enter in the Chart Data Field Settings HL7 Reference Field will override any value coming into the system in an HL7 message.

  4. Click Save to exit the Chart Data Field Settings dialog box.
  5. Click Close to exit the Chart Data Fields Configuration dialog box.
