I agree with Steven, the only issue I have with that is the following:

If I send a message to my MA asking them to tell the parents that the lead level was normal, they generally do and then save it to the chart. Writing in the message:

Notified mom of normal lead level on 9/10/08, and then sending it back to me is just one more message I have to open.

Besides, the messages and the paper trail/audit needs to be cleaned up. It is really hard to follow the paper trail. I mean we still haven't got rid of the Re: Re: Re: Re: yet.
