I put this in a previous post. We have a pt named James Bond and he is very sick. We use James as a way to play with new features, allow all of us here to play with and learn A/C without hurting a really pt's chart. Other EMR's have a way to add extra "off line" pts like James to play and experiment with...or family members of the docs that you'd like to track what you do, but not have their "visits" or "encounters" become part of your real database affecting stats both clinical and financial. But I really like the idea of a few false pts to hold spots on the schedule for various stuff like meetings and the like...We have one called New Patient that we use to hold new pt appointments so we don't add a new person until the actually show up and establish with us. Good Idea folks...Perhaps Jon could add such things so again their not like pts adding false data to the database...
