short of the global fixes suggested in other responses to this thread you have to clear the windows clipboard to avoid it happening (and until someone shows me a better way I do this by highlighting a single space and copying it) after every use of the copying action - must be some use of the clipboard by md on opening the next file that is involved.

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?
