One thing that has always helped me is to compare the electronic chart with a paper chart. So, I open a paper chart and the first thing I see that was last written
I, too, often make the comparison to paper, but this is an example where we want the EMR to be different. For better or worse, we want much of the old information (FH, SH, Meds, Allergies) to be carried over. Obviously not the CC or HPI.
Actually, I don't see where you even need today's date at the top when you begin a note.
Once again, you do need it if you save the note and complete it on a different day.
