I also hate not being able to do some limited correction, but I agree that I have never seen any EMR that lets you do this - I also think it would be good if AC would put on the bottom of the page when the note was finalized. I think that would make us all a lot more accountable for finishing our notes in a timely fashion. I know that my hospital cannot bill for any of my admits until I sign everything, dictate all notes and discharge summaries and finalize everything. This motivates them to eventually get on the case of a doctor who is perpetually late(not me - I like to bill also and do not do any billing until this step).
I also do a fair amount of 99214's and work hard on finishing them that day (sometimes I am at the office on call until 11:00 pm) - so if you can cut out sleep and going home you would be better off......
P.S. Vicki is creeping back up the top 10 board.
