That being said wouldn't it be nice to be able to click on a Dx in the PMH section and have it automatically populate the Assessment section of the current visit, or maybe something like all active problems show up in Assessment section with a checkbox next to each to designate dealt with during that visit.
Great idea. I had that in my mind. I can't believe I didn't put it in. It is so important to be able to address active problems at visits that clicking on lists already on the MRE is imperative. Just like you do with the letter writer. You can select meds or whatever, and it shows up in the letter. May not work the same way. I think the fist steps are to 1) most to agree with a Problem, PMH, PSH, Encounter, Chief Complaint is, and then for AC to have a REALLY good understanding of same. Because when they are devloping the application, they need to develop it in a way that reflects what the above mean and how it flows.
For years, I have had to have my MAs enter the chief complaint in the HPI and leave the CC field blank. I can then type in the diagnosis so it shows up in the Past Encounters field. I can't recall which version AC finally made Past Encounters the same everywhere. It used to be Past Visit History one place and Past Encounters in another.
