THere is a section in the summary sheet for Immunizations. Not all of us use this. Couldn't it be a more general category of injections that would include immunizations?
I give many intra-articular injections, im injections, nerve blocks etc. Right now I have to go thru each past visit to figure out how many injections I have given and when.Yes, I can double key into tracked information but this is quite cumbersome when you see 60 and more patients a day

There is another section in the summary page for medications. This is a waste as you already have this infomation when you click on the RX in current visit. I would like to have a summary section for Orders so I can track when I ordered what
Thanks

Sam,

I think the meds are there not to compete with looking at them through the script writer, but to have everything as a summary - to see everything on one screen. But, I agree that, in general, the summary sheet is sort of an afterthought and could be improved.

I thought about it a bit and even tried to document an injection you might do. Have you tried using the Alert and Directives section, which I rarely use anyway? I entered a date and then a medication such as Kenalog injection in the first field, then right knee in the second field. In the comments section, I wrote the reason for the injection and how the patient tolerated it, etc.

After saving it, and closing the editing window, it left a very nicely formatted description:

10/10/2007 Kenalog injection Right knee

You can add as many as you like, and it prints very nicely, albeit with the words Alerts and Directives above it. It does state when it was printed. And, when you click on it, you can see the comments that were written earlier.

Just a nice little workaround if you are interested.

An easier way to check past encounters is under the Past Encounters tab. Just click the radio button for Assessment and Plan only. I put all my procedures under plan because they don't really fit under the other categories. It is easy to pick out the past injections on this view.
