An Editing Example

The following is an example of how to edit a ChartMaker® Clinical Prescription Layout file (*.CML). In this example, a Boolean field is added to the Layout file and text is inserted into the prescription depending on the value of the Substitutions OK field which is set when the provider prescribes a medication. Text will then appear on the NJScrip.CML showing either "Dispense as Written" or "Substitutions Permissible."  

 

 

Load a Layout

Use the following steps to load the layout for a prescription you want to edit.

 

 

  1. To load a ChartMaker® Clinical Prescription Layout file for editing, access the layout application LAYOUT.exe and log in using your USerID and Password.
     

  2. In the Prescription Layout Editor, select File > Open for the menu.



     

  3. In the Open Prescription Layout File, browse to the file you want to edit, and then click the Open button.

 

 

 

Add a Boolean Field

Use the following steps to add a Boolean field to the Prescription Layout File that you just opened. After this field is added, the boolean field will changed based on Yes/No questions regarding the prescription.

 

  1. To add a Boolean field, click the New drop-down box, and then select Bool for Boolean.



     

  2. The Boolean Item Form dialog will appear.  Enter the field Width and Height (A) and the Offsets from the top and the left of the layout (B).
     

  3. Select the Boolean field to be displayed from the drop-down box (C), in this case ASIS, meaning "Dispense as Written."  
     

  4. In the True Text field, enter the Text to be displayed when the Boolean field is true, and then in the False Text field, enter the Text to be displayed when the Boolean field is false (D). In the example, when the provider prescribes a medication with the "Substitutions OK" checkbox checked ON, then the ASIS Boolean is false, and the false text, "Substitutions Permissible," will be displayed.  When the provider prescribes a medication with the "Substitutions OK" checkbox OFF, then the ASIS Boolean is true, and the true text, "Dispense as Written," will be displayed.
     

  5. Select the text justification Left, Right or Center (E),  and then adjust the text Font attributes (F).  
     

  6. When finished, click on the Add/Update button (G) to commit the changes.
