General Screen Entries
This section describes the field prompts common on most data entry screens:
- Read Term - Add - This data entry window is present on many of the Patient Record views. Either enter a keyword, e.g. cardiac, or a code preceded by #, e.g. #G57 cardiac dysrhythmias. When you click OK, the data may be placed in a structured data area (SDA) if there is one (e.g. Asthma-Add), and if not, in generalised medical history.
- ReadTerm for Characteristic - Many specific screens already have a default Read term selected; and on some, if you click on the selection arrow in this window, you can reveal a picklist of relevant Read terms from which you can choose.
The Read Term for Characteristic is blank on History-Add screen. Either type in a Read keyword and press Enter, or type in # followed by a Read code. For how to select a Read term, see Add a medical history and Quick add of Read descriptions from front - Add screen. Medical History entries are not placed in Structured Data Areas.
