I was just wondering what people use, clinically, as reminders/ticklers/alerts.
The “Action” system in ECW is not helpful, overly complicated, a nuisance to create with needless/useless fields that have to be populated. Furthermore, the user has to search for them-they do not “pop-up” when a patient’s hub/progress note is accessed.
This is a very basic function of an EMR-to remind the user of testing follow up-that ECW does not perform well.
I was just wondering what people do instead to remind themselves several months down the road to FU results.
