I think I am going to have to teach a class on statistics and probability. I'm taking my Shout Box and going home.
I really am trying to learn here. What workarounds does one get from the Shout Box when NewCrop is down.
Bert,
This most recent Newcrop malfunction, in my opinion, is not nearly as impeding to daily work flow as previous malfunctions, but potentially more dangerous. With this most recent event, at least the drug interaction checker and printing function is working. In this situation one can at least e-fax, and having Updox only adds a few additional steps, and workflow is minimally impeded.
When the printing capability of e-scribing through Newcrop is down the net result is about the most debilitating impediment in daily workflow short of an electric failure. However, not as potentially dangerous because no scripts can be printed.
Having the input from others allows me to tease out the problems to minimize workflow impediment, so currently I have not even tried to e-scribe all this week and have only e-faxed with Updox all scripts, so I do not have to be concerned if my patient did not receive a prescription, which in my opinion could be potentially dangerous.
This most recent event, I was able to identify that I could print and so posted to hopefully assist others. When Updox went down at the same time, I indicated my nurse calling in scripts as a gentle suggestion. I think most, if not all, can figure this out, but the ACUB helps in real time to adapt to the impediments quite well in my opinion.
This connection to the outside world helps keep me sane and operable.
I have an inkling Mr. Squire is working round the clock to get this fixed, but in the meantime I have an office to run.
I hope this clarifies my position on the subject.
