Mike,
There is a way to call a pop-up CDS using a Meditech Z program (at
least for MAGIC sites). However, you must be very careful how you use
it. For example, if you call a separate CDS based on a response on a
NUR screen while documenting the NUR Intervention, although you can
enter responses on the pop-up screen and those query responses will flow
into PCI (if the queries or screen is set to do so), these responses
will NOT be seen if later viewing the documentation in the View History
routine in NUR. It is not technically part of the screen attached to
the intervention. Also, if you print an activity profile or audit in
NUR, this CDS will not be part of that history either. (You could set
up a separate Profile for that CDS, but it would not be directly linked
to the intervention from which it was "pop-up" from!)
There are some tricks that you could use to work around this. For
example, on the CDS attached to the intervention, you could place all of
the queries in the pop-up at the very end of the CDS and use attributes
to never allow the user to get into these queries. Then you could use
the pop-up to call a separate CDS with those same exact queries. Doing
so would create the effect of taking the user instantly to the queries
in the pop-up based on whatever conditions you wanted, while placing
that information at the end of the CDS.
As long as you understand the limitations and play within those
boundries, you can use this do some neat things. I am currently setting
up a macro that looks to see what the previous nurse documented for the
patient's physical assessment, define those reponses into "alternate"
queries, then allow the user to press the F4 key to "pop-up" a CDS that
shows the nurse what the previous nurse documented. This will allow
them to assess changes in the patient's condition while documenting!
The logic that calls a pop-up is: (My understanding is that not all
sites have this Z program... but we did and I'm not aware that we had to
request it specifically.)
%Z.zcus.cds("YOURCDS",ANS)X,1
To call the pop-up based on the user pressing the F4 key:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] %Z.zcus.cds("YOURCDS",ANS)X,1;1}
To call the pop-up based on a user's "Y" response:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]"Y" %Z.zcus.cds("YOURCDS",ANS)X,1}
Good luck... and have fun!

Hello Meditech L!
I've been searching the archives and haven't found anything so
I'm
turning to you for help. I know this has been posted before but does
anybody have an attribute that will Jump a user from one NUR CDS to
another
NUR CDS based on a Y/N response? I've never been a fan of pop-ups and
I'm
afraid an error message won't cut it either. Any ideas will be
greatly
appreciated! Thanks in advance! - Mike
