I use the AC tracking system to reconcile outstanding labs and we have a lab interface that imports results electronically. It took me awhile to break the staff habit of printing ordersand saving trhem on a clip board ( our old tracking system).....
as I have said before, I am allergic to paper. My vote is for paperless and a truly electronic medical record. Hooray for AC.
Some stuff stills needs to be printed to fax to hospital when ordering tests, and instructions or referrals for the patient etc, but we buy a lot less paper and toner cartridges than we used to.
