I decided to only allow the physician (me) do any charting in AC. I do have a nutritionist and a psychologist working in my practice (bariatric surgery). They generate a note which gets imported in the patient's chart. That is my work around. I sign /e script all prescriptions. I personally do not delegate that ability to anyone else. I had the unfortunate experience of having staff call in prescriptions for themselves and others for narcotics many years ago. Nasty deal, had to call police and DEA. Be very careful who you allow to sign prescriptions for you as you may be leaving yourself in a very vulnerable position, both legally and with the local medical board.
