Editing Family History Items

1.   If you haven't already, go to the Fam/Soc History module. The LMR displays the default Family History grid as well as any previously recorded family history items for the patient. For details, click here.

2.   Click the link for the Family History Problem name to display all current information in edit mode.

3.   To change the status of any item, click the positive (), negative (), or unknown () icon associated with the family member.

Note:

• To delete this family history item from the grid and remove all associated information, click Remove all data (ALT+R). The LMR displays a verification message. Click OK. Go to step 6.

• If the family member you want to associate with any family history item is not displayed, click Cancel to return to the main screen and click Add Relative. For details, click here.

  The LMR displays the Add Relatives screen. Find the relative type you want to add and type the number of relatives of this type you’d like to add. For example, if the grid currently contains two brothers and you want to add two more, type “2” in the Add field. Then, click OK (ALT+O) to return to the grid.

4.   If applicable, update the Age of onset and Comments.

5.   Click OK (ALT+O).

6.   If you want to save your work now, click Sign (F10). The LMR indicates the changes that will be saved. Type your key and click Sign.

7.   Depending on your set up, you may be prompted to select a cosigner or sign for a provider. See Selecting a Cosigner and Signing and Saving for a Provider.
