I wish when a record is pulled from a specific date on the schedule, the date and time stamp remains. Eg. Pt. is seen on a Friday. You don't record the visit. You come back on Sunday night and try to catch up. You pull up the chart from Friday's schedule. Now the date and time stamp is from Sunday Night. Of course, you could change that. But, I cannot recall how many times, in a hurry, I have forgotten to do that. So many of my patients were embarrassingly 'seen' on Sunday Night. The visit now is wrongly recorded, billing is erroneous, and now another "addendum" is to be added recording the error. Could there be a fix?
Okay, I don't have a fix, but I *do* have the workaround, thanks to the unorthodox way I am using Amazing Charts right now.
Once you have popped open that chart from the schedule, it is stamped with the date and time it was opened, no matter what you do with it from that point out. All you have to do is
open it on the date of service, and forward it to yourself to dictate later.
When my patients arrive, my receptionist forwards their chart back to our nurses station. The nurse calls the patient, opens their chart with her tablet PC at our vitals station, and records their vitals and chief complaint, at the very least. Then, she forwards the chart to my inbox.
As long as the chart is opened and handled once on the date of service, it is stamped with the proper date. When you pop it open on Sunday night,
open the forwarded chart from your inbox instead of the schedule, and it will have the correct date and time.
