Okay, I was showing this to my nurses and thought of a problem... frown

No ICD-9 codes appear in the body of that email that gets sent. cry

Hey, wait! Just thought of something -- confused

When the lab tech double-clicks on that e-mail, the patient's record will open. If the note is signed off, they can pull the ICD-9 codes from the note. cool

AND, even if the note is not complete, any ICD-9 diagnoses the doctor has selected will appear in the Problem List of the Summary Sheet! grin

Okay, I'll run this past my nurses and see if they can poke any more holes in it. wink
