Every few years, I like to ask the community, how do they track clinical testing-such as colonoscopies, PSA, mammograms, Pap smears, that are due at certain intervals, at the point of patient care (with the patient,not in retropsect)?
After using ECW for many years, it has yet to offer a clinically useful notifiation system for this scenairio-Alerts/Actions/CDSS are convulated/arcane/user hostile, and don’t offer a notifiation, unless the user goes “looking for it”.
Presently, we use the “Secure Field”, as it is one of the few persistent fields, as a note pad to manually track these tests.
It’s clumsy and often not up-to-date.
Anyone found a better tracking system?
Thanks
