One more gripe (I know I have a lot of them but my office staff keeps coming up with things that I didn't notice.
When putting in PMHx, my M.A. will right click in the box and we have all PMHx templated for common things. In v5, if she types something in the box first (in the template section) such as Wolf-Parkinson White Syndrome (or something that I don't have a template for), she can't then click on templated items without it deleting the thing she typed. That's annoying. This didn't happen in v4. It would just keep adding things to the list.
Of course the fix is to click on all the templated items first, then add on the things that don't have a template at the end. But she usually enters these in alphabetical order so she has to remember to go back and add it to the list.
These little things just get annoying to me. Why would they make it where it replaces anything that you type?
I'm just a grumpy surgeon I guess but there just seems to be changes in v5 that no one ever complained about yet the things we commonly complain about aren't touched.
So no "save and send" on imports, can only type stuff in at the end if your trying to use templates, secondary insurance and referring provider are hidden from the demographics screen without an extra click (I despise extra clicks).
Also, why is the dosage absolutely necessary when entering medications? Patients rarely know their dosages when coming to my office even though they know their medications most of the time. I would like the ability to be able to put "Lisinopril" into their med list and still allow the checker to assure no meds interact with it even though I may not know the exact dosage. Just typing it in defeats the purpose and guessing a dosage is terrible medicine as the hospital may use my list to assist in knowing which medications the patient is on.
