OK, so after using AC for almost 4 years I am now preparing to "go paperless". When I got back from the conference I relayed this goal to my staff. They are still a little frantic about the whole deal so we shall proceed slowly. I remember when we first started scheduling appointments electronically in my PM program. My receptionist (who has been with me for 20 years) refused to give up the old schedule book. If there was a fire drill, the only thing she grabbed before exiting the building was the schedule book (not her purse)!! I had to literally take the book away from her and hide it. I made my first paper only charts for three new patients yesterday and we have agreed to start this way. But they want to still have a dummy chart in the rack that says "scanned" so I guess that will be ok. Before going full-throttle though I still need to check my back-ups, wire a "scanning room" and purchase a SnapScan. But I am making progress!
