Bert:
My viewpoint is a little different, but I think minor changes in AC could put a smile on both of our faces.
I like to stay on the most recent encounter page as much as possible. My solution would be to be able to edit what shows up in the drop-down problem list ON THIS PAGE, even it it needs to be done from the summary page. That would allow me to choose from a relatively small list of chosen active problems for diagnoses addressed this visit. I generally equate a problem to a codified diagnosis. We can talk semantics all day long as long as functionally we can customize AC to fit our practices. Not being able to edit what shows up on the drop-down list hampers my ability to use the program the way I would like. It has gotten worse with version 8 as it has allowed multiple problems with the SAME ICD-10 code to be listed in the drop-down (eg. I10 and its ilk). My staff would like to separate PMH into medical and surgical sections, but that can be done with current methods. I want the EHR to be better organized than paper and see no reason it cannot be.
I hope AC talks to us before wholesale changes in the program appearance.
