Paul:

I played with "re-purposing" the "tracked items", but couldn't make a really good flow sheet out of it. The date takes up 1/3 of the screen! Also, there is not much room for specifics. The kind of flow sheet I was looking for would need medication dosages and follow-up recommendations included.

I also played with "re-purposing" the "Directives/Summary" page, as per Jim's suggestion in this thread:

and that was an improvement, because you can add a lot more data to the two printable sections, and the format is better, and there seems to be no limit on how many entries you can put in there. This actually seems like an ideal place to enter health maintenance items, especially if you would like a nice printed record of them for the patient (kudos to Jim for suggesting it).

However, I think that David's progress note suggestion has a lot more things going for it.

When I figure something out, I'll post it (I know everyone's giddy with anticipation over my office policy decisions). wink
