Christopher Never seen it happen in BPSoftware & I've been using BP since December 2004 (nearly 18 months).

One day last week I copied and pasted text from an email about a patient into the "progress" notes on MD2. Then I opened a different patient 's file. The email was in the progress notes of patient 2. Then I opened a different patient 's file. The email about patient 1 was in the progress notes of patient 3 along with the progress notes of patient 2. Then I opened a different patient 's file. The email about patient 1 was in the progress notes of patient 4 along with the progress notes of patient 2 and patient 3. And so on for the rest of the day. I made sure I showed the screen to a colleague who has been keen to promote MD2 as our setting was previously not computerised apart from the use of email and the internet. We are about to go to MD3. I am actually a Genie user in my private practice and keep wishing I could persuade the hospital to invest in a better program. I have looked at MHAGIC, thanks to this list and it looks promising. If patient 2 or 3 or 4 wants to see their file, we will be revealing confidential details about all the others seen that day. This would be bad enough in a GP setting, but for someone paranoid, who is wary of revealing their private thoughts to clinicians who have obtained a Community Treatment Order, compelling them to have antipsychotic drugs they dislike, you can imagine this is especially unhelpful! Once this happened before and it seemed to disappear later on. But these glitches seem to be preserved for eternity. Adding extraneous details to a file seems pretty shabby. In wonder how often bits disappear without trace. What's going on? Will it keep happening with MD3? Has anyone ever seen this with BP or Genie? regards, Christopher S E Wurm, MB BS, FRACGP, FACPsychMed, FAChAM 14 Northcote Terrace, Gilberton, South Australia 5081 Tel: (08) 8342 6155, Fax: (08) 8344 4270 _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
