Audiological reports

Overview

On each audiological assessment in Blueprint OMS, it is possible to generate an audiological report which will display the information from the selected audiological assessment. Audiological report templates can be uploaded under Setup > Templates > Forms. By default, Blueprint OMS systems will have two variants of Hearing Assessment, a two-page assessment results report, and four variants of Aud Report, a one-page assessment results report. Additional generic audiological form templates are available at the template tool.

Generating audiological reports

1. In a patient's Audiology tab, find in the History panel the audiological assessment you wish to report on.
2. Right-click on the assessment and select the desired report option.
   

3. If the report template has merge fields related to an external healthcare provider, then you will be prompted to select a healthcare provider in the Select healthcare provider dialog box.
   

   The options in this menu are the healthcare providers set in the patient's Details tab. See: Selecting the patient's family physician.

4. The report will open in a new tab, where you can sign and edit it.
