OK. Agreeing with Bert as usual except his post just disappeared. So the government has a hand in attempting to screw up the simplest EMR on the planet.
Wow. I'm really trying to simplify the order process but some of that stuff is super cumbersome. Especially on my staff.
Why isn't it a bit more simple. How about I order something on a patient and it gets stored on that patient as a "results pending" automatically. When the result comes in, my MA imports it and reconciles it with the pending order. That's sent to me to sign off and done.
The sending it to people seems useful in a huge office but should be able to be disabled for a single provider where one doc orders and one MA reconciles.
