The Questionnaires module integrates with the Family File module. You can collect current patient information from your patients in a questionnaire and use their responses to update the patient information in the Family File so that the information in the Family File is up to date.
The Update Patient Information dialog box contains three sections and several buttons. The following options are available in this dialog box:
· Patient Information Categories - Located in the upper left corner of the dialog box. Contains a list of information categories that you can select. The names and number of categories correspond to the questionnaire you selected in the Questionnaires List.
· A yellow box indicates that there is a discrepancy between the information in Questionnaires and the Family File.
· A white square with a hyphen indicates that you skipped that category without making changes.
· A green check mark indicates that the information in Questionnaires and the Family File has been reconciled or that no reconciliation was necessary.
· From Questionnaire - This section lists the patient information that is included in the selected questionnaire form. (For more information about setting up patient information on questionnaire forms, see Patient information categories.) Each category of patient information in this group box that does not match the information in the Family File appears in yellow.
· In Family File - This section displays the information that is currently in the Family File.
· Buttons and check boxes - Explained
· Double Chevron - Click to change all the information appearing in yellow.
· Single Chevron - Select the information in the From Questionnaire section that you want to update in the Family File, and then click the button.
· Family File - Click to open the Family File.
· Refresh - Click to refresh the information in the dialog box.
· Undo - Click to undo any change you made in the In Family File section.
· Skip - Click to skip from one patient category to the next. The yellow square changes to white with a horizontal line in the middle of the square.
· Update - Click to update the Family File with the information from the questionnaire.
· Mark as "Done" - Select to forgo updating the Family File with the information contained in the Questionnaires form. Selecting this option adds the word Needed to the Patient Information column in the Questionnaires List pane indicating that form is complete. The "skipped" icon (white square with a hyphen) appears in the Update Patient Information dialog box.
· Close - Click to close the Update Patient Information dialog box.
