Do these have to be worded exactly the same as the options on the ARRAS tab? EG, Assuming my previous F9s matched before, where it used to have "Declined" it now lists "Patient Declined to Specify". On Race its used to have "Native American or Alaskan", now it says "American Indian and Alaskan Native". And "Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander" has replaced "Pacific Islander" etc. Are we going to have to update these fields if we pull those prev values forward? Marcia
PS. What the heck does a marital status of interlocutory mean???

From what I read, it seem to mean something like 'in the middle of a divorce'. Not final until a certain date. We have patients who want to be identified as single, not divorced. They are not happy about the labels. Karen

If you have these fields elsewhere in your template, you may need to make changes to make sure that the ARRA fields are valued correctly.

there is no Hispanic or Latino under race anymore? In it's infinite wisdom, our government has decided that hispanic or latino is an ethnicity, not a race. I'm not sure what the difference is, but you can be a white latino, black latino, or native latino.

Marcia If you go to edit your template, scroll to the bottom of the fields and you will start seeing negative (-) values. These are actually your ARRA fields. You can add these anywhere you’d like on your template and any data entered will carry over to the ARRA.

That would have been awesome a year ago before I did a bunch of workarounds to link med rec fields to ARRA fields. I will lose prev values if I replace my med rec fields with the actual ARRA fields and I have tons of button functions that would have to be rewritten. I finally had everything working pretty much how I wanted and now this update has thrown a monkey wrench into much of what I did. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to go forward from here. The race, ethnicity and language situation is more of a problem because the acceptable values have changed. It's not that they just added new options, they reworded existing options. I guess I can add a function to my history buttons to convert the old terms. Marcia

I don't know if its good news or bad news, but I will tell you that we are using the short list of race and ethnicity codes. When the requirements first came out the list was three times longer. They might still want to go with the long list in the future. This might help you with your decision on how to update your templates.
Its hard to believe but there is a longer list of languages as well, but I'm fairly sure that the languages won't change any time soon.

Also, look into the versioning option for templates. You will lose the little drop downs that give you a history for each field, but when you look at old records, it will use the old template, therefor still showing the old values in the old fields.
