I must admit that generally our focus is whatever activity is at hand, but every once in a while they or I will bring up the topic of EMR. These types of discussions are especially fascinating because they give a nice insight into a doctor’s perspective from someone who’s not inside the healthcare IT bubble. You know, that bubble where we all know the difference between meaningful use stage 1 and 2, ONC-ATCB and CCHIT, and a whole set of other acronyms. Certainly these doctors know some of these terms or have at least heard of some of these terms, but they definitely don’t know all the details. In fact, that’s what makes it so interestin...

However, I’ve seen very few people really address the challenge that is copy and paste functions that are built into almost every program in the world. Before I talk about the challenges, of copy and paste with an EMR I will first profess my amazing love for these 2 functions. I use them probably 100+ times a day. On a good day it’s probably a few hundred times and on a bad day it might only be 50 or so. I can’t imagine doing what i do without copy and paste. Even in this post I’ll likely using copy and paste a dozen or so times. I’ll admit that I probably use it more than most. However, it’s amazing how many people use copy and paste. It’s really bec...

They range from bringing data from previous encounters forward, documenting preset normals, or using some form of copy and paste. These tools can be literally built up to offer one-click encounters, which would be a huge win to physicians who seem to always have more patients than time. However, the more of these tools you provide physicians, the more of an opportunity there is to accidentally mis-document. This could result in fradulent documentation, or worse, a clinical error. I’ve witnessed shouting matches between two partners of the same practice. One doctor demanded the ability to copy and paste an entire exam with one click or he wouldn’t be able to use the EMR. The other physician swore up and down that copying w...

The new version of Microsoft creates documents as a .docx format, which is only readable if the person has the latest version of Microsoft (or has the program to convert files). Another issue with Microsoft documents even just .docs it that they are more likely to transmit viruses. The concern about transmitting computer viruses is the main reason that many instructors require that documents submitted as attachments (which will be opened by the instructor) are submitted as .rtf, .txt or .pdf files. I found a couple of great online Video resources on YouTube with rem...
