I was trying to implement lab tracking which led me to trying to define lab slips in 'Edit Sheet Def' window. Because of HIPAA I never send patient names out on lab slips. I use their chart number. Is there a way to add that field to the Fields box on the Edit Sheet Def page? Maybe something I can tweak in the db?

ps. As a side note, am I the only one that thinks that telling a lab full of people who aren't covered by a Business Associate Agreement that the local mayor's wife wears dentures is a bad idea?

It turns out you can add the Chart Number to a lab slip. Within the Edit Sheet Def window, click the StaticText button. Then click on ChartNumber, click OK, and drag the ChartNumber field to the location you want it.

You might want to check with your state requirements. In my state patient name has to be on the slip or you get in trouble.

Great, thanks!
