eCW customers using NexHealth forms have access to the integrated medical history form, which automatically syncs patients’ allergies, conditions, and medications to the patient health chart in eCW.
The Medical history form is dynamic, and it changes options for medical alerts (conditions, medications, and allergies) based on the medical alerts already in your health record system. These options are read directly from your health record system.
For use with NexHealth Forms
Overview
What NexHealth reads from eCW
The NexHealth Medical History Form includes search-and-select free-text questions for patients’ Allergies, Conditions and Medications.
The patient types in their corresponding health history, which automatically pulls matching options from eCW.
NexHealth reads all the progress notes from eCW.
NexHealth will read in the alerts exactly how they appear in eCW (including spelling & capitalization).
Any misspelled alerts must be fixed in eCW
How alerts write back into eCW
The patients’ Allergies, Conditions and Medications are automatically synced to the Progress Note field in the patient file in eCW.
The PDF forms are synced to Patient Docs.
If the patient doesn’t have a future appointment and therefore no Progress Note, the Medical History Form will sync to Patient Docs like normal, but there will be no area for Allergies, Conditions or Medications to write to, so they will not automatically appear in the file (e.g. Progress Note).
Medical History Form FAQ
Q: Will any new locations that I add also have the Medical History Form?
A: The medical history form is automatically generated when the Synchronizer is installed.
Q: What if my patient doesn’t have a future appointment and therefore a Progress Note?
A: The Medical History Form will sync to Patient Docs like normal, but there will be no area for Allergies, Conditions or Medications to write to, so they will not automatically appear if there is no Progress Note available.
Q: Can I add more questions to the Medical History Form?
A: Absolutely! Our Support team is happy to help augment the form, but please keep in mind that additional questions will not sync to the health chart like Allergies, Conditions, and Medications do.
Q: Can I see it in action?
A: Take a look!
