Bert,
Thank you and no worries, I wasn't offended. I like the idea of going directly to the server for the files and will look into that.
Chris,
Very detailed and I will look into some of your suggestions. To fully understand, I think I need to walk myself through the process.
Steven,
It's David you have to tell not to retire, not me.
But please, feel free to remind him of that.
I do appreciate all of your suggestions and I will look into incorporating them into our office processes. Unfortunately with the way we do our charting, imported items are a must and with our records retention laws, we have a potential for a nightmare in the future when David does retire as we are required to offer the full records even after our doors are closed.
Again I am hoping for a future release that simplifies this process. I guess I assumed there would just be a "print to file" or "save to disk" or "export file" or whatever option that would just wonderfully allow a full copy of the file to be exported to CD. Clearly this is not what we are offered even though the process can be made somewhat less cumbersome with the suggestions here. FYI, I did go to our statewide EMR conference and this was offered with many of the other programs but for the price, I think my 5-10 minutes on each chart may make up for that.
