Hi Amira
This is actually a common mistake and one I had to make a couple of
times before I stopped.
In Meditech if a condition is true the result of the condition is the LEFT HAND
SIDE of the condition
Examples
1>2="" meaning FALSE
2>1=2 meaning TRUE
2>""=2 meaning TRUE
Problem
""<2="" meaning TRUE
In the last test "" is less than two which is TRUE, so the LEFT HAND SIDE of the
condition is returned. In this case however the left hand side of the condition
is "". This evaluates to FALSE and the IFE statement never executes.
The proper way to write this statement is
IFE=""^INS.ORD,@p.ADM.PAT.insurance.mnemonic.1^INS1,
[EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED],
IFE=IF{INS1 IF{'@p.MIS.INS.DICT.contract[INS1]) "Primary "};
IFE=INS2 IF{'@p.MIS.INS.DICT.contract[INS2]) "Second "};
IFE=INS3 IF{'@p.MIS.INS.DICT.contract[INS3]) "Third "}}^INS.ORD,
IFE=IF{INS.ORD @W.err(INS.ORD_"Insurance Contract is blank"),1
You have to check to see if there is a second or third insurance before
you check to see if there is a contract. If there is no second or third
insurance then checking to see if there is a contract for that insurance would
yield a false positive.
You may have to put this code in a macro so it works properly. It may be
too long for the IFE clause.
Hope this Helps

Hi all,
I have been trying to get the below attribute to work for a couple of days but
unsuccessful. I need the Meditech-L assistant.
What I am trying to do is to notify the registrar that one of the insurance's
contract is blank.
I have added the below to a query on an ADM CDS:
IFE=IF{(@[EMAIL PROTECTED])="",
[EMAIL PROTECTED]("Primary Insurance Contract is blank")};
IFE=IF{(@[EMAIL PROTECTED])="",
[EMAIL PROTECTED]("Second Insurance Contract is blank")};
IFE=IF{(@[EMAIL PROTECTED])="",
[EMAIL PROTECTED]("Third Insurance Contract is blank")},1
Thanks much!
Amira Christiansen
