  26 An introduction to CAMOS
  27 </p>
  28 <p>
  29 CAMOS (Computer Aided Medical Ordering System) is, on the surface,
  30 just a fancy interface for organizing and choosing pieces of text
  31 to insert into a patient's chart.  It is designed to be intuitive
  32 and easy to use.

  81 Comments.  CAMOS supports C style comments.  Here is how they work.  A comment opens with /* and closes with */.  You cannot nest comments.  You cannot overlap comments.  Anything in a comment will be seen within CAMOS in the item window, but it will not show when you enter it into the patient's chart.  This is useful for making notes on items that are not appropriate to go in the chart.  You may want, for example, to document which insurance a particular facility accepts.

  95 <b>Embedded functions</b><br>
  96 </p>
  97 <p>
  98 Embedded functions are contained within comments.  The first word is the function name.  A '::' follows, and then a list of function arguments, each seperated by '::'.

 101 The <b>billing</b> function<br><br>
 102 If you want to enter an entry into the billing table to have, for example, a CPT4 or ICD9 code come up after entering a CAMOS form into a patient's chart, do this:
 103 </p>
 104 <b>billing function signature</b>
 105 <div class='box'>
 106 <div class='code'>
 107 <pre>
 108 /*billing::code_type::code::code_text::modifier::units::fee::justify1::justify2*/
 109 </pre>
 110 </div>
 111 </div>
 112 <b>Examples</b>
 113 <div class='box'>
 114 <div class='code'>
 115 <pre>
 116 /*billing::CPT4::80054::CMP:: :: ::50.00*/ /*add a cmp for $50*/
 117 /*billing::CPT4::85024::CBC:: :: ::25.00*/ /*add a cbc*/
 118 /*billing::CPT4::80061::Lipid Panel:: :: ::50.00*/
 119 /*billing::ICD9::V70.0::physical:: :: ::0.00*/ /*this is a diagnosis, not a procedure*/
 120 </pre>
 121 </div>

 125 The <b>camos</b> function, CAMOS calling CAMOS:
 126 </p>
 127 <p>
 128 This function is used by the two cloning features.  You may take advantage of it yourself. Obvserve how it is used.  Keyword is 'camos' and arguments are category, subcatory, item, content.
 129 </p>
 130 <p>
 131 The <b>replace</b> function.  Used as follows:
 132 </p>
 133 <div class='box'>
 134 <div class='code'>
 135 <pre>
 136 Atenolol 50mg
 137 /*replace::30 tablets qd*/
 138 </pre>
 139 </div>
 140 </div>
 141 <p>
 142 In this example, the replace function looks for an 'item' entry called '30 tablets qd' and replaces the function call with the text from the associated content box.  This replace function works recursively, meaning that if the text which is used in the replacement contains a call to 'replace' itself, this will be called as well.  Other function calls will be executed only after all replace calls are completed.
