Second, I have learned how talented and patient the trainers are: Jeri Baker, Sally Cooper, Sandy Gagnon, Eileen Giardina, Cathy Weldon, and Dave Lapierre. I have watched them stay on topic, answer questions, maintain focus, and navigate through a complex curriculum in just two hours time. While no one walks out a pro, attendees leave with an excellent sense of what lies ahead. Great team!
Third, there is a lot that I still have to learn about the Enhanced View. There is a lot that is changing with this upgrade and a good deal of it may not seem so much for the better at the outset. Up til now, physicians have striven to achieve a measure of mastery with CIS and CIS-Office; suddenly, we are being asked to relearn many of the tasks, rework many of the processes, and rewire how we think of electronically-based patient care.
My goal is to try to address all issues and questions that arise from this potential shock to the system. The following is a list of issues that have come up since the physician training sessions began yesterday morning and, in the coming days, I will make every attempt to tackle each one of them:
- Family History [please see recent prior blog posts]
- Ambulatory divided screen to view Message Center and Schedule [this will be done prior to go-live for all BAPO and BMERF primary care physicians/PAs/NPs and any other providers who make the explicit request]
- "Stick pin" not holding [this will hold upon logging of and logging in again, as opposed to closing the patient chart and opening it again.]
- Medication List/Prescription Writer vs. Medication Profile/EasyScript: I will do an in-depth study of this major re-design and post an equally thorough review over the next couple of days
- the future of ePrescribing
- Best practices for tracking narcotics
- Banner bar changes
- Problem/Diagnosis list building and viewing
- Correct & Modify
- Edit
- Procedures/Surgery History
I know the list will get longer, but I thought to iterate what I've been asked in conversation and email.
Please post or email me your concerns, questions and suggestions.
