We have just come across the need to copy all of a patient's records because he is moving, and have major issues that tech support has not resolved for us. We are trying to print to CutePDF so we can put it on a disk, since I don't see an export button for anything other than that pitiful CCD/CCR form. Going to past encounters > print entire file only prints the first page of the encounter notes if we select print entire chart detail. If we click all items to print, very little of the chart prints out. Each of the imported items seems to have its own print window. This ought to be a seamless process, but the solution suggested to my office person was to print everything out on paper and then scan it!! Now, that is just nuts. Some day we are going to close our practice, and we expect to be able to hire a high school student to copy these records to disk in no more than 15 - 30 seconds per patient. We cannot spend 20 uncompensated minutes per patient for 5000 patients. How are people handling export of all the records for a patient?
