NeuroDawg-
Have you been printing out the instructions to patient letter (button located in bottom right hand corner of patient encounter when the chart is open)? I do this for almost every patient encounter after I type instructions to the patient in the plan. This will print out a list of what ever medications are prescribed electronically at the time of the visit, list all immunizations such as a flu shot, given at the time of the visit (provided they are entered in the decision support section), orders for lab, x-ray and follow-up and whatever freehand information I wish to provide the patient. I print this along with the CCD. As noted by others, one main problem of printing the CCD why you still have the chart open is that the medication list is not updated.
I see that you registered on the user board in 2009. I am curious as to why you are finally starting the meaningful use journey at this time as opposed to earlier. It is an arduous task. The people at Amazing Charts were very helpful to me when I went through this.
