1. What all to scan from the Paper Chart into Amazing Charts ?? What are other members doing/have done ??
2. It is taking me a good 10 min. or so to dictate a note with Dragon, and write the list of Diagnosis for Billing. My Nurse fills in the Vitals, Medications on, Types in the Labs & a brief history.
How much time do other members take to see a Revisit & complete a note ???
1, We scan the entire chart. Similar to Sky, we use Administrative, Notes, Labs, Consultant, Immunizations as separate catagories.
2. See Steven and John above, Templates can save a lot of time. If you have a repetitive text, right click +alt to save it as a template, Then later just R click and select. Sometimes HPI, most of the time ROS and Exam can be this way. Also Assessment and Plan can be canned.
I do notes in the room with patients, Probably takes 3 minutes with multitasking. I tried Dragon and found it was a little slower. I may have gotten better with time, but I can type and found it was easier. I occasionally used it for complex HPI's but I have swapped out the computer it was on and it is no longer in the office.
