Oops. It is I, who did not know about MD's searchable, printable Action
list, not the Accreditors. (Well they didn't know either but they don't
use MD.) Apologies to MD. I blame my ignorance on my reluctance to
explore proprietary software in depth.

One other thing that the Accreditors were keen on is the recording of an
action for all incoming data. We've got this sorted for pathology and
radiology. However scanned documents and documents processed through
Medical Objects and by direct email allow the recording of a "comment"
but this is immediately thrown away. I don't know if this is fixed in
version 3.5. (We're on 3.4.1.36.) Has anyone else been quizzed by the
Accreditors on this? Does MD have a solution / policy?

Horst took me to Cannery Row once, so it looks like I'll be going back.
It was very depressing. About the only thing good in the place was the
mescaline. Probably beats general practice, though.
