Thanks for all the suggestions. I am slogging through it now. It just makes every patient like a new patient but it is great to find some interesting things by really reviewing everything in the chart. The funny thing is that after all this typing in the office, I have very little interest in goofing off on the web afterhours.
Now here's an issue that came up. What should we do for a patient who misses her appointment after the chart has been pre-filled with PMH etc? I don't really want it hanging out in a mailbox unsigned until she comes in. Maybe erase the cc and HPI and use those fields to document the no show or cancellation, then sign it off? What do you think?
