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

Subject: [GPCG_TALK] bizarre error with MD2


I work part-time in a Mental Health Community Treatment Team employed 
by a Public hospital and part-time in private practice as a GP 
psychotherapist. 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?
