I used to use the cumbersome eClinicalWorks. I am much happier with AC, but this is one features I would like. The scheduler could have nicer, more open boxes and click on them to change color. Then when someone arrives, it changes to red, could have a timer start indicated wait time. When put in a room, changes to another color, and this is doctor visit time. It would be nice for the staff to be able to signal arrival status! Right now, I have reception send the chart in a message to the MA, who then sends it in a message to me. I know they have arrived only by the MA sending me the chart, and if I know earlier, I can't start on the chart because it is in someone's box. A new sort of status flow would be very helpful.
