Steven:
Did the person to whom you spoke at AC provide any feedback as far as to why there are so many "useless" device entries such as the five differently-colored One-Touch Ultra Mini meters and hundreds of Pampers, Huggies and Attends cluttering up the data base? It seems to me that someone at Surescripts or AC decided (without much thought) to download a list of devices and supplies and to codify them rather than to think about what providers in the various specialties really need.
Unless the Peds and FPs are prescribing diapers and the FPs and IMs are prescribing Attends, we can really do without them. Which brings me to another thought ...
Is there any way for each of us to customize the database to have our own "preferred" list of a hundred to a couple hundred meds/dosages/devices as a smaller subset for "everyday" use alongside the database in its entirety to have available for those occasions when someone needs that rarely used drug or supply?
