Home Forums Quick Way to Sign Off Notes

HERE IS AN AWESOME WAY TO CLICK THROUGH THE BILLING PAGES AT THE END OF THE NOTE IF YOU DON'T USE AC BILLING SYSTEM:

go to http://www.autohotkey.com/

Download the program, then run it.
Make a .txt file (using Notepad), enter the following commands

#space::
send !s!n!s{enter}!n!y
return

Then turn this into file extension .ahk
Then double click on this file to run it.
Now when you want to sign your chart, press WindowsKey+SpaceBar simultaneously.

If you want to change the triggering hotkey to Alt+S, replace the line #space with !s

However, keep in mind that this will not work because you cannot use the same hotkey that exists within a program.

If you want to change the triggering hotkey to WindowsKey+S, replace the line #space with #s

email me if you have questions, this is WAY cool.

Drag your newly created hotkeys into the following folder:
Start button-->All programs-->StartUp

then your autohotkey will run all the time.

run the aforementioned script on any computer that you want to use this shortcut.

Found myself in another mess. I just tried the instructions above with the instructions for using the alt s to close.
Rather than closing the program, it opened the reminder tab and it is going crazy across the various dates. I can't close it. We logged on to the server again and deleted the file .ahk file and it is still doing that.
Any suggestions?

Deleted my file and retried it with alt spacebar-didn't work. Any suggestions?

If you deleted the file and still having trouble, do this:

CTRL+ALT+DELETE, then select "start task manager."
Then select "processes" tab, then find the AutoHotKey.exe files. Single-left click on it and then click "End Process" button at the bottom right.
This will end the script and it should not continue working.

You deleted the file and your hotkey did not work?
That is what we would expect.
Try recreating the script file.
Type this exactly into a Notepad window, and save it.

#space::
send !s!n!s{enter}!n!y

Rename the extension to .ahk

Then you have to double click on this file in order to activate the script. Then when you are in a chart, pressing the Windows Key+Space bar will activate the script.

I had to play with this quite a bit in order to make it work.

Alternatively you can change the line
#space::

to this

!s::

and this will require you to press the ALT+s key to activate the script command.

It is important the the !s no look like !S. It needs to be lowercase.

If you get it working, then you can place the file in the Startup folder under "Start button-->all programs-->Starup". Place the file on each computer that will run Amazing Charts.
This activates the script each time you turn the computer on, rather than having to run the script by double clicking on it every time the computer reboots.

You do not need this .ahk file on the server. It should reside on each individual client computer.

Thanks for responding. Even after I had closed the .ahk file the program was still hung up. Had to delete it. Cut and pasted the code-when i pushed spacebar and windows key together nothing happened. I called the file quicksign.ahk. Any suggestions?

I also made a script to forward charts back to my desktop and made on to print the patient instructions from the button at the bottom of the AC screen.

It is important to note that these scripts tell your computer to simply run commands that would have been entered via keyboard from your hand.

For example in the above script pressing Windows Key+space bar tells the computer that the following actions were taken:
ALT+s
ALT+n
ALT+s
Enter key
ALT+n
ALT+y

This should hopefully save you a number of steps.

It may be easier for me to talk you through it than to message back and forth.
Feel free to call me anytime today or tomorrow.

I will have to go through the autohot key tutorial. Never could get it to work. It's a great idea-hope I can get it to work some day.

Or maybe ask Adam to remote into your computer and set it up for you. Maybe he will. He has plenty of time.

Thanks Adam soo much for your help.
I can't wait to make hotkeys for all my employees computers. They will really appreciate it.
As I have more time to experiment with the hotkey scripts I'll post any that I come up with.

PS Bert-might mouse is one of my childhood favorites-up up and away!!!

PS Adam congrats on the new office. Good luck with your new system-it sounds awesome.

I knew he could talk you through it. It's funny, because the actual process was probably easier than the log in stuff. Luckily I use GoToMeeting since I have to support FAP. Much easier than Microsoft's remote assistance which does break down occasionally.

Adam always praises me for "teaching" him computers. I do and I turn him on to the cool stuff. But, NO ONE picks up on it and runs with it faster than he does. He's a natural.

Where would you rate Mighty Mouse with Barney and Dora and Sponge Bob?

MM is awesome, with mondo old-school cred!

Check your email -- I just sent you a MM pic that I think you will like.

Yea, but you two do not remember the old Mighty Mouse gang I bet. Annette Funicello, et.al. M-I-C....K-E-Y....M-O-U-S-EEEEEEEEEEE!!
Martin, Jim, Tom....I know you remember.

Leslie

Loved the Mickey Mouse Club. I loved Annette because she was so nice and pretty. I also remember Bobby, Darlene, Timmy, Cubby, Brend. OK, I have a red hat, but hey, I'm still breathing.

Wasn't that Mickey Mouse and not Mighty Mouse?

You guys completely hijacked this one.
Hey now wait, I'm a moderator. Shouldn't I just lockout this thread? Or should I make you guys post a new thread, just on Mighty Mouse?

Nah, have your fun. I don't want to abuse my pooooooowwwwwwwwweeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrr

Damn, you're right. Hijacking threads is a misdemeanor. But, when it's in Tips and Tricks....now that is serious. I, for one, should know better.

adam
Thanks for the hints. I followed the instructions you gave. striking the windows and spacebar brings me to the sig page, but it still asks for the ICD and cpt code.

Is there any easy way to bypass these two check boxes or do I have to click them, or actually enter ICD codes and cpt codes?

tom

Tom,
We should probably talk this week after work hours, and I can walk you through the steps required.

I helped another user in this manner and it worked for her.

It's not the most intuitive or simple task making these scripts actually work. I played around w/ them many many times before I got them to work properly.

Send me an email alauerATtwincityfamilymedicineDOTcom, or give me a call 207-356-0461 (cell).

Let's all chip in and get Adam GoToMeeting.

I think you have your mice confused here my dear... So many mice so little time.

Here I come to save the daaaaayyyyy!!!!!!!
