: Objects are a device to extract data from other VISTA packages to insert into boilerplate text of progress notes or discharge summaries. This is done by having a placeholder name embedded in the predefined boilerplate text of Titles, such as: “PATIENT AGE.” The creator of the Object types the placeholder name into the boilerplate text of a Title, enclosed by '|'s.  If a Title has the following boilerplate text:
 +
 +
:  “Patient is a healthy |PATIENT AGE| year old male ...”
 +
 +
:  Then a user who enters such a note for a 56 year old patient would be presented with the text:
 +
 +
:  “Patient is a healthy 56 year old male ...” where the age for this specific patient is pulled from the patient database.

Object
Objects are a device to extract data from other VISTA packages to insert into boilerplate text of progress notes or discharge summaries. This is done by having a placeholder name embedded in the predefined boilerplate text of Titles, such as: “PATIENT AGE.” The creator of the Object types the placeholder name into the boilerplate text of a Title, enclosed by '|'s. If a Title has the following boilerplate text:
“Patient is a healthy |PATIENT AGE| year old male ...”
Then a user who enters such a note for a 56 year old patient would be presented with the text:
“Patient is a healthy 56 year old male ...” where the age for this specific patient is pulled from the patient database.
