Re: gcarcamo post- I agree, if there is a box next to imported folder,
Practioner/doctor read the document, and check off- Might work.
What we do presently is--
In a way similar to what Barbara said, if the document comes electronically, say by fax then,
I forward to my file clerk outside of EMR,
using an inbox for file clerk created in c folder of her computer,
with a shortcut to that inbox
- so she has an icon on her desktop- saying inbox,
then she imports the document I forwarded
and in COMMENTS section for import: types in Forwarded by Dr........ and Imported by .........her name. (she uses shortkeys: 20 bucks:
http://www.shortkeys.com)
This way there is a comment that I forwarded, and of course if I forwarded I should have read and taken action on that document.

Re: kiddoc:
I guess with current system- the only way is to add a diagnosis in problem list first - of course it would have an ICD if it is ICDable (is there such a word??). Then one could print the order, all those diagnoses will flow to order sheet.
Retreive: With current version of AC: We have similar situations where patients lose their order sheet-we have to look it up in past encouters-- the orders given, then type up (well, we use templates) to print a new order again.
Re: printing invoice. I dont know, I am waiting for Jon to build an integrated PMS this winter. (Just cant wait, that is so exciting! to look forward to- this will cut back on double entries into EMR and our separate PMS).
Re: correcting entry, for legal reasons, I understand the only way to correct is to make another entry which says the previous entry was wrongly entered and to ignore. Then make a corrected entry. Once an entry is saved, cant get it out, it is one way street, this I believe is true for all EMRs.
