I recognize that eprescribing going down is a nuisance, and a problem when it is unpredictable and not immediately evident. But, if there is a period of time when it is not reliable, why not just revert to writing a prescription like we used to? I still have prescription pads.... Don't you? Is it really worth a panic that MU. Numbers might get screwed uo?
David,
If you take MU out of the equation, it comes down to more than just the prescription. As you know the AC software is such that when able to print a script then a record of that is kept either in the summary or progress note.
So in the blue circle of death Newcrop scenario, capturing this event is lost.
My work around is to just wait out the malfunction and e-prescribe at a later date to avoid the double entry.
It also seems that most of the time I am bulk e-prescribing so the actual hand writing in of each name, address, medication of a multitude at a time is more labor intensive than just waiting out the Newcrop blue circle of death malfunction.
But, I am a Virgo and quite lazy by nature, thus this workaround works best for me.
And my handwriting is horrid.
Hey, we are colder here than you today at -12.7 now!!!! I do not know what the wind chill is though.
Also, do you have a tip how best to keep the condensation to a minimum to avoid freezing on the inside of windows in your home when it gets to arctic temperatures?
P.S. Just saw Dr Mel's input above, tag teaming was not intended!!!!
