1--entering new demographic information for each of 4 siblings; At the moment, I print out one and data-enter from the paper.
Don't the parents fill out a form with the demos on it? Maybe just use that form instead of printing one out. Have you considered having a staff person put in the demos?
2--being asked,'What was that medicine you put her brother on? It worked great.' Now I have to forward the current chart, pull up the other chart, then pull up the first chart.
Actually you don't. Simply go to the patient list on the main page, right click on the sibling, and pull up the medications and eprescribing tab. You can do this with the first chart open.
As to 3 and 4...as David suggests, seeing multiple patients at one time has got to be quite a challenge! I can imagine that if you are seeing 4 at once, you would like to be able to have 4 charts open at one time. Out of curiosity, why would a parent want to know if two kids had the same white count and hemoglobin?
