I’m encountering a time-consuming, distracting annoyance that I hope someone has a fix for. My “S” jellybean turns yellow when a patient arrives, of course. If I am working in another patient’s chart, catching up on a previous day’s progress notes, going over labs or messages, I have to keep switching back to the present day’s Office Visits screen to see when the arrived patient is ready for me.
If I’m on the floor with back-to-back patients it’s not an issue, but if I’m at my desk or in a charting alcove when there is time between appointments, at the start of the day, or at the end of lunch I find it really disrupting.
Does anyone have a tip or trick for how to see when patients are ready, that doesn’t involve closing what you’re working on and multiple clicks to other screens? (In the EHR at my previous practice, the notification turned yellow when a patient arrived and then turned green when the patient was ready… I miss you, Athena!)
