As well, phone conversations with pharmacists go in there.<BR/><BR/>I'll have to phone the lab and see what they can do with paper reports from other physicians. Perhaps we can fax/email requests to send those to us electronically.<BR/><BR/>MichelleMichelle Greiverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528486116262255346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20382865.post-1148512109774401512006-05-24T19:08:00.000-04:002006-05-24T19:08:00.000-04:00Hi Michelle,One solution to keeping vitals, etc. u...Hi Michelle,<BR/><BR/>One solution to keeping vitals, etc. up to date when they are done in a specialist's office is to create encounters for those visits, even though they were not done in your clinic. Then, the data gets aligned with your emr work flow. <BR/><BR/>I found when I was using the emr, that I broadened my mental definition of an encounter to encompass quite a few things that occurred outside my office. It is relatively quick to enter the relevant information with a quick note identifying where it came from, and it keeps your records up to date.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
