CIS Table of Contents (Menu bands)

This week will mark the end of the third month since the changeover to the unified version of CIS. Over the course of this time, we've had to overcome a variety of unexpected setbacks, but have also benefited from a host of changes that, when frustrated, go unseen in the midst of a rushed patient care session. Your voices have been heard and in response to suggestions made regarding the user interface, the Table of Contents (or Menu bands) will undergo an overhaul of a sort.

When we first made the changeover on March 24, a single TOC was designed for use by all. In the coming days, you will see a different arrangement, depending on where you spend the majority of your time. If, when you login to CIS, you see the Message Center with the Inbox, you will see the Ambulatory view as listed below; if you see the Message Center alone, yours will be the Hospital-based view; if you live in the ED and can login to FirstNet, then it's obvious what you'll be seeing.

Suggestions for modifications were culled from emails and less than formal conversations and were also sought from medical directors in order to better define site-specific designs. Check the lists below for what to expect in the coming days.
