It would be nice if each "subheading" such as "ORDERED", "PRESCRIBED THIS TIME" Would be BOLDED to aid in picking them out of the jumble that the PLAN becomes. I'd also like the ICD codes associated with the ordered test to be included with the orders recorded in the note.
You may find this hard to believe, but my staff find themselves reprinting lab and radiology orders for patients who SWEAR I never gave them the order. They then have to ask me what diagnosis code to use since it doesn't record in the note.
