Well, at least I understand the process now. I tried it, and it was simple. Thanks Brian.
However, it still seems like a rather convoluted and lengthy workaround. I suppose I would work with it more if my pediatric patients had longer problem lists.
I think AC would work much better with a true face/summary sheet that popped up first. It would contain important facts like meds lists, problem lists, allergies, etc. Maybe you could select the problems you wanted.
This may not make sense, but our physician staff was averaging being behind 34 days on signing off notes and orders on the PowerChart for the hospital. When you signed in your patient list was first and then there was a tab for your signatures. All the hospital did was change the tabs so that your signature list was first. It dropped the lag time to 11 days overnight. Just because it was the first thing you saw, and you didn't overlook it. What does this all mean? I just wonder how much better patient care would be if a face sheet appeared first. I wonder if I would not wonder why a child was running all over the place as much as I do now if I saw on the face sheet he had ASD? Sure, it is in the PMH, but I don't review that first or at all for a simple bronchitis.
Make sense to anyone but me? Probably not.
