I had one of those mornings.

Several full exams on AM schedule, 15 plus messages in portal, 5+ lab imports with abnormals in most, substitute nurse, first patient supposed to just come by to compare her CBS machine with ours, but demanded to be seen and her problem list had as many items as her years. Plus all the 15 minute visits.

It has now been just over 2 years and in the paper era, would still be in up over elbows and ears in the paper shuffle, but my three legged stool approach is working quite well. For maximum efficiency if my AC inbox, my nurses' inbox and Updox worksite stay empty things get done and get done quickly.

I am still reminded on a daily basis if you have the right tools, these mornings are not only manageable but the work is done better.

Even "bug ridden AC" and Updox has revolutionized my practice and as an observer and user of this technology am still humbled by its functionality.

I get as frustrated as the next guy when Newcrap craps out and Updox is being Downdox, but when this stuff is working. Holy batman!

But I am feeling rather lucky to be part of all this and just wanted to say thanks to all on the user board who have helped with all the not so good moments, so that moments like today are easily dealt with. wink
