Roy...I completely agree.
I'd also add being able to edit/correct insurance companies. We've had differrent people enter in different names - and now in order see how many folks we have on Medicaid, I need to search Medicaid, DSHS, Department of Social and Health Services, Welfare, etc. While we've since trained each person to use a set of standardized names, all this is still there and comes up in the drop down menu.
Diagnostic codes...The only thing I can add to what Roy has said is that even when I make a dx inactive, it still shows up on the drop down menu for that pt - which only keeps things cluttered.
I'd love to be able to edit these databases (if I knew how...it would be such a timesaver), however, how would I prevent an update from overwriting my work?
