This is a bit on topic and a bit off. It seems like this would be very simple for Jon and AC to do, but I am sure 100 people a month say that. The window that JBS refers to comes up automatically when you sign off a note and allows one to print a note or a letter. It can be rather handy, but I chose the option to not have it appear because I don't need to print notes often and letters occasionally. One of the things it doesn't do which I put in "The 81" would make me allow it to open each time.

I simply don't see why, given it pops up right after the patient's note is signed off, you can't click a button and pull that patient's chart up. There are SOOOOOO many times that after the note is signed and stored in the database that the patient does the "one more thing," or "can you send this script." Now, if your nurse triages in the room, that patient's name is right there in the patient list. If your MA triages in an area other than the room and forwards the chart to you, that name is not right there. Therefore, you have to look up the patient, which believe it or not, is time consuming.
