Prompting for S.O.A.P.
I want my vets to be prompted for some text boxes one after another so the correct history can be captured - how?
The Protocols module can be used for this. One of the sample scripts provided is soap.pro
(Version 03.01.09 - November 2009).
You can use the sample as it stands or make changes to it (if you do change it call it something else as it may be over written as it's a sample).
Lets look at setting up the sample as it stands then explain what it does.
Setup a new AP card with:
| Description | : | SOAP Box |
| Keyword | : | SOAP |
| Extras Line | : | ^33=1 ^37= |
e.g.
The extended Metacharacters on the extras line are:
| ^33=1 | Do not display the Description line |
|---|---|
| ^37= | Call a protocol, as no script was specified, default to the keyword e.g. that is the same as ^37=soap |
On a animal card, use the AP code 'SOAP', you will be prompted for three text boxes. The sample uses:
- Enter a brief history
- Enter Symptoms reported
- Enter Plan of Action
The results will be added to the clinical record with some text e.g.
The script is easy to change, add to, use any editor and you want to
change: protocols/soap.pro. You should have no difficulty
in working out what to add/edit to chage the way it works.
# Use Params.txt entry Protocol_Code_400 = XXX for Ana code History
# Use Params.txt entry Protocol_Code_401 = XXX for Ana code Symptoms
# Use Params.txt entry Protocol_Code_402 = XXX for Ana code Plan
