Meaningful Use monitors a few physical findings, primarily focused on height, weight and blood pressure.
To access the Physical Exam areas, with the patient account open,
click on either the Objective icon or the Exams button.
From the Objective window, click on the button for Physical
Or from the Exams button, select Physical
For purposes of Meaningful Use, height, weight and blood pressure must be measured and recorded at least once every 6 months.
Height and weight must be monitored for all patients beginning at age 2 (two).
For patients between the ages of 2 and 20, entering height and weight automatically produces the Growth Chart.
Blood pressure can be entered as only a single entry (right or left) or both. This entry fulfills the hypertension screening required for Meaningful Use.
The BMI (body mass index) is automatically calculated upon entering the height and weight, and shows the patient’s weight status.
