We are still an office that has not totally relinquished the use of some paper, specifically encounter forms to be given to charge entry at the end of the day. We edit the appointment and put a simple "ci" at the end of the appt comments and then drop the encounter form in a folder on the wall that the ma's use to check when patients are in the office and ready to be roomed. The ma's then pull the chart do their stuff and forward it to the doctor with the room number the patient is in.
