Description of AHLTA AIM Form Details Window

• The purpose of this presentation is to describe
  the details window in AHLTA and how to determine
  what is being written when you click a particular
  MedCin Term.

Why use the Details Window?

• Prevents you from guessing what AHLTA is going
  to type in your note by clicking a term. (In the
  past, it was not clear what would be written in
  the note when you clicked a given term).
• Prevents you from having to use Note View and
  Form View to switch back-and-forth between your
  note and the AIM form to see what is being typed.

Details Window Example
3
The Details button at the top of the screen in
the PC-Generic AIM form is defaulted to
on. When you click this button, it will cause
the box shown at the bottom to appear or
disappear.

If you click any MedCin term on the AIM form, the
details tab will show you exactly what will be
typed in the note. No need to click back and
forth on Note View. In fact, just clicking the
text (not even selected T/F or A/N) will tell you
what the term will say.
5
In the PC-Generic AIM form the A/N or T/F
options were chosen because AHLTA decides how to
print the text. In general, if AHLTA says
something was abnormal or normal then A/N was
used. If it said present or absent then T/F
was used.

The area to the right of the description is for
free text. Here I have typed what kind of
edema the patient had. This area is the same
thing as clicking the square to the right of most
terms.
