Home Forums Discussions Feedback and Recommendations Keyboard locker

I would love a way to easily lock the pc in between the nurse starting the visit and the Dr coming into the room. HIPPA aside I don’t want pts missing with the pc’s.

Karl has a good answer in the post below mine, but it involves the use of two hands, unless you have a lot of manual dexterity and long fingers.

Another solution is the windows key + L

Unfortunately we have to many different users to make that practical

I am currently testing a simple locker designed to keep pets and toddlers from reformatting the hard drive while I’m getting coffee.

It locks the keyboard and mouse with a click on a taskbar shortcut and turns off with a simple command that can be the same on all PC,s

@Wendell,

That is the solution that Karl posted under the post I pasted if that makes sense. The Windows key and L is great, excpept I tend to not use it, because it involves two hands. (I know!) But for some reason, having only one key to push is much easier -- for me anyway. But, certainly it's a great solution as it is universal.

@Beau,

I can't figure out why multiple users would be an issue. Unless they are running programs where a certain function key does something else by default such as Help on a billing program or something. Usually, you can find one function key that is available.

So, are you saying the screen would still be visible?

Control – L take me back to the xp sign in screen and its locked under the user that signed in originally and you have there password to sign on or if you override that it will log off and I lose the chart

Today I am playing with Toddler keys 1.0 ad it goes to a blank screen on command or a preset time then every time you hit a key it plays a .wav and shows a photo until you type in the password

Windows - L. Yes, you have a good point there. I wasn't thinking of that, because in our current system, nurses don't use computers in the room, and I don't use their computers as they triage in a different area.

So, what is your method, AND does it hide the screen?

We just turn off the monitor. And keep an eye on the room…….we have been lucky

I just downloaded it and tried it. It seems to hide your screen. It would be perfect if it had a keyboard shortcut. I am just so used to the speed of clicking on F7 even while the note is being signed off by AC. The author says he isn't going to improve it unless someone writes in something interesting.

That would be nice. AC has the handt lock button once your in the chart it seems like they could tie in a key board locker.

I am still trying to find one that would start a pt edu video or something to entertain while they wait

I know the kids love Dora. I find it amusing that a two year old is crying and screaming and both parents can't soothe him or her, but the minute I bring up Dora, he or she smiles.

If you use the Big Purple Idiot I swear I will personally come to Maine and burn you office to the ground....

Now TelleTubbies are like Benzos for kiddies.

I was thinking of a video about the importance of hand washing but DORA is much more practical

How about Mr. Bill??? "Oh Nooooooooooooo"

Paul, who doesn't like Barney??
"I love you, you love me, we're a happy family, with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you, won't you say you love me too."

Adam,

There is a post on here somewhere by who else, me, about different things one could say on the login screen. I can't recall them all, but I believe the Barney theme was one of them. Cracked some people up, don't know why.

Adam, do you have fire insurance???

But could we bill for a video of diabetic counseling etc????

Ooooohhhh. Now I like this new member. He thinks like I do... Now what code would that be? Hey if the whole family is watching do you get to do the whole group counseling thing???

Does video of the Dr count as face time its his face

Beau, we are talking about the southwest for the next ACUC. What would be cool near your neck of the woods near the Grand Canyon, etc. Sorry if my geography is off.

That about 650 miles from me. I’m in south east NM
I think most people out here default to Las Vegas

Southwest??? Bert you and I are gonna have to drive a Jeep out there then. There is no way in hell I'm gonna be that close to some of the best slick rock in all of North America and not do at least a little Wheelin'. Hee Haw doggie!!! Give me a date because I'm starting my countdown.

Hey could we plan it around one of the Jeep Jamborees??? Please daddy, pleeeeeeeeease...

Paul, now that would be cool. We would have to have the conference on Thursday -- Sunday and leave the rest of the week for wheeling and hiking.

Beau, it doesn't have to be near to you. Just near enough for you to either set it up or have Jim come out to do all that. He is the expert.

Vegas is 700 miles from me but it sound like Flagstaff might be a better answer if we are taking our jeeps and Sedona would be a great place for a back drop for recording our new pt edu videos…….Is this another reason I should be able to right off our clinic jeeps new lift kit…

Do you have a jeep also?

2 XJs at the moment.....eBay willing I might have a wrangler tomorrow
I am having trouble getting toddler to work in user mode
%$###% registry errors...

If trail blazer would start paying on Medicare claims I wouldn’t be looking at freeware.
I did have to refrain from using large amounts of profanity in making this post.

Feel free to use profanity. The user board will censor it. Well, some anyway.

You really ought to talk to Paul. He eats, sleeps and drinks Jeep. Well, jeep and his favorite topic: Insurance companies.

after i fix my billing issues life will be about jeeps again

He has a Jeep??? Actually more than one Jeep... Damn than it's settled, he's hired.

Hi Beau, please go read the thread, "Calling all Cars". I just sold our old got us thru Nancy's Med School, full sized, 258, Selec-Trac '83 SJ Cherokee. Ya know the really big old SOB's.

Also, we got a '98 5.2 Magnum, 28 Z package, ZJ Grand Cherokee that we have owned since new and unfornunatly is rusty badly especially around the passenger side rocker from living it's entire life in the rust belt. I also just pick up another '98 5.2 ZJ that is a LTD model, and we have a 26F package 4.0 WJ Grand Cherokee that serves as great daily driver around here.

Oh and I also love old Mopars so I've got a '72 318 Plymouth Scamp that runs like a top but needs a serious restore as well as a '72 4 door Dodge Dart, also a 318 car, both the A/C (of course...), the K-H four piston power disc brakes and a few other goodies too.

So your the kind of guy who tries to finance your lift kit on the practice... Very interesting. So tell me about your Jeeps. Two XJ's, very cool and perhaps a Wrangler to join the fleet as well. I just saw a thing at IMP Camp about this women doc who loves to play in the mud in her lifted Jeep. I almost bought a nice lifted Grand from some nice kid who needed to selll for med school but being the nie guy I am, I quickly saw what was happening and just couldn't take the poor guys baby. So I actually talked in out of selling it and he took it off the NAGCA website and now instead we go wheelin' together and I didn't steal his baby from him. I told him about how I dragged my Dart with me thru all of Nancy's studies and things and that neither of us would have ever felt right had we sold old "Wanda" just to get her thru med school...

This is all too very cool... These are some other places I haunt when I'm not bothering Bert. And Bert you forgot my other past time, skating, handing out misconduct penalties and the NY Rangers.

"Ya know, this could be the begining of a wonderful friendship..."

I like the idea of flying into Phoenix. The rates are some of the best from my neck of the woods. The Camelback or Hyatt Regency Scottsdale look nifty. Salt Lake City is another good option...can access the Canyon lands easily and flights are reasonable. Let's make it late spring, early summer.

Leslie who is always ready for an excuse to get out of the office.

Phoenix is practically my back yard. A days ride. Salt Lake I would have to take a few extra days so I could pack the truck, and a shovel! There is a campsite on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon that I would love to return to. (Tuoweep) Both are also commuter flights but that is so... business like.

Guys,
Please don't plan such a great set of ideas without two things... PLEASE!

1) NYS Sucks, School just ended this week. So the time table that both the AC and the IMP Conferences used were no good for us at all. The only reason we were able to attend IMP was because it was right next door in our neck of the woods. Had it been on the opposite coast we would have had to pass on it just as we did AC.

2) If I'm going to be near these wonders of North America I would never forgive myself if I didn't get my kids out there too. So item one applys twice over, but also whatever else we do we will need some sort of a place to safely let out kids hangout that doesn't break the bank.

My father the elementary school science teacher who thru me in the back of '73 225 slant-6 Dodge Dart for two months all summer long in the summer of '73 and took me to just about every national park, canyon, and fishing hole there was to be had, will be throwing lightening bolts down from where he sits now if I were to get that close and not bring my two kids along to get the education of a lifetime out there.

So please, please, please, cost, date and child care for families with school aged kids... Otherwise I will never forgive myself. We will either have to take a pass again or leave them behind and that is just dead wrong. Thanks much.

Paul and Nancy

What would be between The Grand Canyon and Bryce?

Great thread. A little tech and a little ACUC.

JEEP Trails....Page Arizona, near the Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell. POP. 6,794. I think they have a motel 6
