I agree I miss the Sign Off and Send option from the previous version. What I currently do is minimize the imported item, highlight the patient's name from my inbox list, hit reply and send a message to the appropriate staff member about what I want done. I use templates for most of it and the message I send to the staff is a duplicate of the message that I put in the sign off box.
If you hit the reply button it also opens up the option of sending an order, writing a prescription etc by using the buttons in the lower right hand side of the message box. Unfortunately if you write an order it does not appear in the message box to save to the chart.....the whole box closes sending you back to the inbox with a blank message pane..confusing, sorry.
I figured that they would get around to fixing this, I think it is a small "bug" but haven't reported it figuring that somebody else would.
