yes! It is on my medicare folks with the most diagnoses. Well poop. Those medicare folks are the same ones I need to send e-Rx on to get my incentive. So I gotta find 25 not-that-sick medicare folks to e-Rx so I get my incentive. Hmmm. I got a

I've found that vaccines that don't appear - will sometimes show up if you type the first few letters of the vaccine in the HM:Immunizations window as if you were going to search for a vaccine.. then poof: there it is.

Bert is so right on this in so many ways (surprise). Microsoft Word is definitely a great example of a program that can be a simple text processor but expanded to a complex xml developing tool. AC has a lot of that in v4 but starts to go away from

Thanks Leslie and DoctorWAW. That does make sense. I will look into Paperport. Since it is a reocurring theme, I should look into it. The problem I was having was how to document refills while E-Prescribing without duplicating work. On my pape

If you have done multiple procedure (ie nerve conduction studies) The proper dollar ammount does not export into Offfice Ally. For example ncs $100 unit 3 total $300.00. Office ally only gets the per unit price. The export to Office ally was suppos

That is how I do it as well, a lesson learned from Leslie. It does not take long but is almost faster to mark up in paperport than e prescribe. I will sometimes just shift back and forth between paperport and AC and eprescribe as well. Nice to have

Perhaps, but this is the wrong place to ask. You should send a recommendation for improvement. Tech support sometimes monitors the board, but inconsistently. Having said that, I will tell you that there are a myriad of small changes people would lik

We have very visually based practioners in our surgical practice and a pictoral record of in-office procedures would be easier if the window were larger. Can this be done for the next update?

Melanie, I basically handle things similarly to you and use the same trust discussions. Just when you think you have made some headway then "Bam" you are defeated by a colleague. I also am liberal with pain meds for those that need them

Melanie, When I see a "new" patient on my schedule that looks sketchy, I check his ER visit record, make a "Narc-check" call to one of the chain pharmacies and if he's a seeker, walk in and spill the facts right up front. I giv

Do any of the terminal server connect instances of AC drop their connection? For instance, if you drop on one of the P2P machines can you still use AC from a Remote Desktop connection?

I certainly hope that no one at corporate HQ takes this in the wrong way, but my programmer taught me some things that Microsoft Word is a great example of. When we designed F.A.P. and VIPER, I, being the doctor who knew how it needed to be used, wo

The ambien ones are tough. We usually end up losing them as patients because here they just get really obnoxious and basically say just give me my ambien as if they are ordering a hamburger and the doctor is the "flipper." @Melanie--we ha

I read a short article in a throw away journal last week by a doc who tells her patients that she is responsible for their health care, they are responsible for their health. I'm going to use this one a lot!

Melanie, Also look at an inexpensive program called Shortkeys (www.shortkeys.com). There could be standard shortkeys that all the docs could learn. It really helps to cut down on the tying and, when combined with AC templates, makes charting a bree

I am trying so hard not to explode here. I am equally aggravated by colleagues, including those in the ER, who refuse to take the time to either read a note I have sent them, call me and talk about a patient or to check a patient's pharmacy history.

Bert, Once again,I agree with you (how novel). I do not track labs or tests either. Everyone in the office tells patients they should here from us either way. Do not assume "no news is good news". If they do not hear from us, they shoul
