This poll merges all of the polls along with the latest suggestions. There will always be a list at the top of the suggestions for AC.
At first, this will look redundant before you vote with the choices listed in the poll. But, after you vote, you will no longer be able to see the statements in the poll (very well) only the results. So, I have listed the original choices as a reference.
You will get 20 votes. You may continue to list suggestions below the poll. These will be looked at but will not be entered into any further polls. At least not be me.
While the votes from Poll 2 are no longer included in the latest poll, the top 10 were placed at the top even though the first received only one vote. (Inside joke)
2. Tracking labs/imaging/consults more efficiently.
3. Word for letter writer and save in letter writer.
4. Multiple charts open at once.
5. Impossible to lose note. Smoother way to close note.
6. Ability to add practice logo.
7. Auto refresh messages with visual or audio alert.
8. Adding pharmacy phone numbers.
9. Increase abilities with email from demographic, e.g. export to Outlook or make distribution list. Exclude disabled patients.
10. Rich text.
11. Improved spell check with spell check saved on main pc and not on individual client.
12. Choose own categories for imported items.
13. Improve med and ICD-9 list.
14. Ability to change the section titles.
15. Add old vitals to growth curves.
16. Export/import Rolodex and ability to always save.
17. Both parents on demographics.
18. Ability to edit the insurance list or other drop down lists.
19. Better time tracking of patients either when arrival or in room.

22. Ability to remove multiple templates.
23. Superbill before completed chart.
24. Ability to edit completed chart with way to know it was done after the completed chart.
25. Select printer rather than Preview Print.
26. Ability to hide/delete actual worded diagnosis when using ICD-9 code.
27. If vaccine Given Elsewhere, allow date to be "today."
28. The reason for inactivating a drug window should be a preference. > 80% of my inactivations are obvious, e.g. antibiotics. This should self-inactivate anyway after ten days anyway.
29. Setting up labs should allow for comments but also for templates of associated labs that have no restriction on characters.
30. Can reply to a message and send it back to person who sent it AND save it to chart with your reply attached.
31. Do not auto delete deleted files when AC is restarted. This should be a manual process.
32. Obstetrical record
33. Ability to open last note from Print Note Window.
34. Improved process to print entire chart including imported items.
35. Interface for Dymo Printer.
36. Ability to enter lab data as discrete data - e.g. glucose, UA, PT/INR, chemistries, for in office labs that don't have interfaces. Would allow you to use data and tracked data is not overly useful.
37. Inexpensive signature pad for front desk to sign in and sign HIPAA paperwork.
38. Addendum with vitals so could do bp check, wt. check, etc. without showing as visit so you can still quickly highlight name and see when really last seen.
39. User's manual preferably a downloadable PDF that also covers best way to install server and clients when upgrading.
40. Ability to merge patients.
41. When opening an imported HL7 lab report a button to open chart.
42. Merge imported items.
43. When scanning items be able to scan multiple sheets i.e. 2 lab reports - 1. Patient demo sheet -1. Insurance information sheet then be able to sort them into their correct categories.
44. Everything and anything that has to do with the orders' section.
45. Drag and drop OUT of Imported Items.
46. Nested folders.
47. Button on Imported Items page to open HM.
48. Button on I.I. to send staff message, like in v4.
49. Tabs to categorize and alphabetize labs, x-rays, referrals, etc.
50. Would also like to be able to put clinic group names, as well as doctor names in Rolodex and Rolodex by specialty.
51. Allow elective signing/locking of the chart.
52. Allow multiple staff members with appropriate security access to the chart without having to forward it back and forth.
53. Add icons to increase room in the available fields ? icons are intuitive and gives more screen space for encounter fields. Change the upper large buttons to smaller ones or icons.
54. Consider having the encounter fields small, but allowing them to expand as they are filled (so, for example, Assessment, if long, will not need to be scrolled through).
55. Reformat the allergy field. Too much verbiage. Allergies only. No need for who updated when. Use a regular black font unless there is an allergy.
56. Allow Users to populate their own Rx Sigs in the drop down list in ?SIG:? instead of just allowing stock ones in the drop down list.
57. Add a 4th button on left that allows you to see the actual entire contents of all chronological Encounters and Messages in the right field.
58. Reduce the massive gray 1/3 left side of screen, which will allow you to make the print in the past encounters fields larger and more readable.
59. Eliminate physical Exam: wt. Height? if field is not populated during the encounter. Eliminate fields with no date in general.
60. Easy access to saved / signed charts via OLEDB or ODBC so we can use a report writer to create a "pretty" note, (visual basic has very un-pretty printing capabilities).
61. Clarify the difference and allow for PMH, past encounters, and problem list. Past encounters are not problems. Problems are not PMH. Name past encounters by diagnosis not by chief complaint.
62. Allow the first page of the encounter to be face sheet. The first thing seen on the patient should be the problem list, past encounters, PMH, allergies, last A/P. This could be a preference.
63. The encounter in front of you should be dated when it was done not today's date.
64. Ability to add an actual comment field in ePrescribe so a certain pharmacy could be identified easily.
65. Present Encounters Page laid out so that chart's LEFT side contains all the fields that A) remain constant (FH, SH, etc.) and B) contains lists that are constantly updated and referred to (Med Lists, Problem List, Intervention List). The RIGHT side would contain the components unique to each encounter, e.g. SOAP note.
66. In general, the med list on the script writer reorganized. Should be able to see both active and inactive and see all pertinent information to each med without hovering. Inactivated meds should be visible with reasons for inactivation visible. Meds written times ten days for example should inactivate automatically.
67. The ability to populate the physical exam from a previous encounter (not the entire old encounter).
68. Store two or more pharmacies as favorites.
69. Ability to make Amazing Charts windows resizable as well as set their screen position rather than opening on top of each other.
70. Scroll bar for AC window.
71. Enlarge font in Imported Items.
72. Make the whole Imported Items to chart pop-up window larger.
73. Dropdown tab to see the last ten patients.
74. Make the immunization record the default view in summary rather than have to click on the middle tab. Improved immunization view (grid like).
75. Fix the DTaP comes with Td bug.
76. Ability to open the signed note from the Print Note Window.
77. Stop the backup of the .enc file from automatically going to the AC folder.
78. Reynolds Score.
79. Save weight only in either pounds or kilograms but not both.
80. Ability to prioritize certain ICD-9s so that they show up on the search list.
81. Ability to put shortcuts to websites directly on the top of the program.
Mark@AC: Updox System Issues An update has been posted We will be taking the application offline at 4:30 PM (Eastern) to perform emergency maintenance. The application will be down for approximately 1 hour.
ACZ: Still no fix to prescibing. Nobody available from AC last time I checked. I have an email request in. Anyone else?
ACZ: update on prescribing: After calling thursday morning and leaving a message, received call from AC. They changed something on their end, and prescribing is fixed.
AMCS: This is from newcrop: New incident: Investigating We are currently investigating an error that may occur when attempting to transmit prescriptions. This is resulting in prescriptions remaining queued. Our engineers are working on resolution presently.
Bert: I am sure AC knows. It's probably a NewCrop issue and they are working on it
Clem Surak: Is anyone else using ACPM and the EOBs are not matching up to patient accounts and the EOBs are having to be retyped into ACPM? Started a couple of weeks ago. Payer IDs are correct and match the EOB payer IDs.
tcosta: @ Clem Surak: yes, this has been going on for MONTHS in our office. We've been told it's the payers fault and it has to do with loop segments and payer response. Doesn't make sense to me, considering it's ALL the time now on multiple EOB's a week.
tcosta: It almost never used to happen and now it's constant.
tcosta: ACPM is extremely short staffed and it's taking them days to respond and fix the issue.
Clem Surak: Yes, it has been getting progressively worse. I have a ticket logged, but have not heard back, so I keep retyping the EOBs so that our accounting is up to date. Hope the migration to the new Clearinghouse fixes this issue. Thanks for the response.
Bert: Can anyone tell me where the post is from AIDevelopment
lesmar: "Prescription batch error. There was an unknown failure trying to complete the prescription batch for [patient name]."' I was just trying to send a refill on narcotic medication. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
ChrisFNP: 3/18 Does anyone else feel like the prescibing is slower than usual?
ChrisFNP: AC meeting today if anyone is interested, 3/19
