Mike,
You bring up interesting counterpoints and some seem they may be valid. I wonder if a patient signs a release when they go into a hospital that their demographics (name) will be on a computer that other caregivers may see. Do you tell your patients that Drs. B and C. can see that that they are in your practice. It depends somewhat what your practice is.
Apologize on the search. I guess if you are signed in under your name, you only see those patients? My nurse today brought up the very same patients under her sign-in as I did. Help me out here?
The charts are "mixed together." If, you have a John Aardvark, and she has a Jim Aarrdvark, both charts will be mixed in the same databases. And, there was an entire thread on how someone was going to take a database and take patients out.
Other interesting notes that they should think of. Maybe I am not thinking it through.
1. Entire threads have been devoted to can we delete a note on the wrong person. Answer no. But, at least it is on my patient. What if you chart on the other doctor's patient? You can use an addendum, but that patient who isn't in your practice has a note that was based on a patient from a different practice.
2. Can you do Prescription renewals and Prescription status? I suppose you could choose not to use it. Again, I am just asking.
