I am one of the teaching faculty at a large hospital implementing EMR. We are doing it in stages.
ReplyDeleteCurrently the residents have developed their own EMR in note documentation.
The faculty have found that the notes are not updated, that false info in the notes can affect pt care (ie., putting CT head ordered, when it had been done 2 days ago), pt discharges, and confuse nursing staff and consultant. The faculty are worried about the next phase of our EPIC installation when all notes will be electronic.
Any words of wisdom? Lynda
