Home Forums Discussions Feedback and Recommendations What did I do & when did I do it for what problem?

When I open a new note,I need to see in front of me a simple list of what I did and when I did it for what problem.
How many times did I inject that heel spur?
When did I do it?
When did I do that bunion surgery on your right foot?
Didn't I treat you for a wart last year on this same toe?

The cumbersome way I am getting around this (but better than looking thru each past encounter note)is copying every injection or strapping or surgery into the past medical history box, listing for instance;
"chemocautery wart plantar right foot 5/5/09"
"Bunion surgery right 4/5/09"
"inject heel spur right 3/3/09"
etc. The most recent treatment is always on top.
When I start a new note, I have a history on the left of what has been done when.
I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if there was a way to automate it in the future (AC4.0)?
Everything I say is with a large grain of salt. Dollar for dollar, AC offers the best ROI of any EMR out there by a factor of 30 (as in $30,000).
Thanks for the comments

Sam:

You probably know this, but here goes:

• Open the patient's chart.
• Click on the "Past Encounters" tab.
• Click on the "Assessment and Plan Only" button.
• Click on "Print Selection", if you like.
• Or copy the data displayed and paste it wherever you like.

See if that gives you the info you're looking for.
