Ontario: PATIENTS - Increase character limit for "Breastfed/Duration" field in Ontario Perinatal Record page 1 (OPR 1)

  • Affected users: Healthcare Professionals (Obstetricians, Family Physicians, Midwives, Nurses) completing perinatal documentation.

  • Task affected: Patient Charting — Clinical Notes module, specifically filling out the Obstetrical History section of the Ontario Perinatal Record 1 (OPR 1) form.

  • Impact: Clinical documentation constraints and ambiguity. The strict 4-character limit in a wide column prevents clinicians from entering clear duration values (e.g., "6 months" or "1 year"), forcing them to use non-standard or confusing abbreviations.

  • Current state: Clinicians must use ambiguous abbreviations (e.g., "6mth", "12m") or enter supplemental text separately in the general Comments section of the form.

  • Competition consideration: N/A
