Hi guys,
Today I WENT LIVE !! I wasn't totally prepared, as I was running late to the office. At 7AM (1st AM phsical awaiting in room--40min apt), I backed up my office management system (Emedware). Then I used Amazing Importer, quickly installed my patient demographics.
At 7:20AM, I had to get started with the physical, so I charted that one by OLD method...paper. After the physical, I went to each computer and linked to the AC database on the server.
At 7:55AM the 8AM physical was ready to go, so I started it... again via paper.
At 8:40AM I was done with that physical, grabbed my laptop and started charting all remaining visits of the day in AC. I went back at end of day to document the first two physicals via AC.
I made one newbie error, I forwarded the unsigned charts to my desktop each time I opened them....but I clicked "NO" to the question "Do you want to remove item from your desktop?" Which left several copies of the same charts on my desktop.
Once Bert helped me figure out my mistake, the rest of the day was very smooth. I'm even managing to update meds lists and problem lists at the same time....whew....a long day.
It was all easier with AC. I figure 3-6 months to be completely converted over, maybe less. But I'm relocating my office by June 30, 2008 so that may interfere with best laid plans.
Thanks J.B. for a wonderful product so simple and easy to use!
