[MT-L] Magic 5.62 - Using color in GUI

[Roger Beverly]

We are implementing a change in the way orders are keyed that will
affect nearly 300 drugs. The pharmacists have expressed some concern
over remembering which drugs the change applies to. I do not want to
have a message popup as a reminder due to the number of items and the
potential for "alert fatigue". So I came up with the idea of using a
color change on the screen.

About half of our pharmacy users still use the old "red" screen for
order entry and half use the "gray" screen. I have written a macro that
will change the color of all the editable fields on the screen. It's
pretty cool - all the boxes turn orange on the otherwise blue
background. A nice visual reminder that is unobtrusive.

The problem is the grey "gui" screen does not allow colors to be used as
far as I can tell. Does anyone know of a way that I can elicit a color
change in the gui environment?

Here is the macro code that I am using to change the color in the "old"
order entry screen:

IF{@.gui @W.return("Fifty Percent rule applies");

Q(@Z.color.table.red,@Z.color.table.red)^E,

@Set.attr(E|1)^#},1;

Right now I am using a pop-up message for the gui interface, but I would
like to use the same color change if possible.

Thanks in advance - Roger

Roger,
Using the FONT field attribute in a computed field does a little bit of what you seek in the "new" GUI. Here's some values I found in my testing.

Font = on reports on screen
b bold Blue
i italic Red
t bold + italic Red
T bold + italic + underline underlined Red
r reverse video reverse video
B bold + underline underlined Blue
U underline underlined

So you can make blue, red, underlined blue, underlined red, and reverse video text. We use red text quite a bit for stuff for things needing attention.

Hello L_land.

We are looking at automating the patient appointment reminders so that the system phones the patient to remind them of their upcoming booked appointment

Wondering if there are any facilities or vendors that have automated this.

Looking forward to your responses.

Thanking you in advance.

The color codes are different for GUI. Try this macro instead,
replacing a color from the table below in place of the GUICOLOR value:

IF{@.gui @W.return("Fifty Percent rule applies"),
@Set.attr(GUICOLOR)^#;
Q(@Z.color.table.red,@Z.color.table.red)^E,
@Set.attr(E|1)^#},1;

1,4,6,8,10,11,13-Black on Gray
2,5,7,9,12,16-Black on White
3-Red on Gray
14-Blue on White
15-Red on White
17,20,22,24,26,27,29-Gray on Black
18,21,23,25,28-White on Black
19-Gray on Red
30-White on Blue
31-White on Red

Hope this helps...

Does this apply only to NPR reports & CDS queries, or will it work through standard routines?
Thanks,

If you're referring to an NPR report whose output is going to a printer,
it won't matter. If you, however, are referring to a -macro- in an NPR
report that is being called from an attribute on a CDS (or from a CDS
attribute itself), then it should work fine. As far as a working
through a standard routine, it depends on where in the routine your
macro is being called. I'm assuming that the macro that you referenced
initially is part of a Pharmacy order rule. But, like I said, it just
depends on where the rule is being called in the routine. Hope this
helps...

Good morning L'ers,
Does anyone have a BAR.PAT NPR report that if there's any money in "SP" insurance bucket it will print all insurances with their monies ? For Example: MEDICARE $1000 BLUE CROSS $0 SP $250.

Thanks,
Joe

[Roger Beverly]

My use is in a pharmacy rule that is being called at "MED", so it works
great for me.
