I'm a surgeon and we like speed and simplicity. AC has a lot of what I need.
I wish:
1) I would like a separate section for Past Surgical History. Separating that from the PMHx is often critical for us.
2) A check box to turn on/off each section when it may not be needed. I only need all of the boxes on the initial consult or encounter
3) Ability to set preferences to start each new note with a clear page. I don't need all of the PMHx/All/Meds/Social for a post-op note or even a simple f/u note. I find it very cumbersome to see a post-op patient, pull up the patient to write the note and every field is filled with the entire H&P. I need a quick SOAP note format for follow-ups. That way someone can come in after a lap chole, I can click one template which is almost always the same thing, sign it and be done.
I would think FPs would need that for f/u of a kid after a URI or a UTI in an adult. Just a quick 4 line note and out the door.
4) A one click template to fill in several sections at once (i.e. standard H&P would fill in the standard ROS, standard social hx, standard Physical Exam) which would then be easy to change the one or two areas that are out of whack.
