Not to be Mr Negativity, but I actually like NOT being able to open two charts at once. Blame it on my failing memory or such, but I can easily see myself entering information on the wrong chart... an "oh crap, these scripts were supposed to go on his BROTHER'S chart" kind of thing, then I would be wasting time deleting the incorrect info and fixing my error. To me, that would take way more time than hitting control S to forward the chart to my inbox or hitting two mouse clicks to forward it to another staff member, and then opening the second chart. If I have an order for say an "EKG in room two", I forward room two's chart to my MA to do the ekg while I am in the next room opening the next chart. I really have no reason for room two's chart to still be open on my desktop while the ekg is being done. Plus, when room two's chart shows up back in my inbox from the MA, I know the ekg is finished and I can look at it. I feel the current system actually helps keep me more organized with less chance of incorrect data entry...and honestly I am less worried about incorrect entry on my part than I am on my staff's part. I can just see my MA's desktop now, with 47 open charts at once! If they were to add the ability to open multiple charts at once, I would like to see it as an option that could be enabled or disabled thru administrator functions.
