I would think that if you were trying to maintain compatibility with
mainstream VistA, you would want to maintain your own MPI rather than
modify your registration process to bypass it. Even if the benefits
aren't immediate, it would make it a LOT easier to integrate with new
systems that you might want to bring online. A classic problem with
health care applications is that everything has its own "patient
file" and then systems can't interoperate because there is no shared
concept of patient identity.

Apparently CPRS is such a fine product with extensive functionalities

That is beyond retrieve only.
Compare with the available functions, it will be a relative small
task technically
to add an option to enter a new patient (of course, check against
existing to
avoid duplications). It is only reasonable to have data entry/edit/
retrieve all in
one place. Now it become a show stopper for me because I don't know
the old way of patient registration yet.
Wonder what is the designing philosophy keeping patient
registration away
from CPRS GUI?
It's simple, remember the origin of VistA, it comes from the
Veterans Administration. All Vets are in the Master Patient Index.
The people who Use CPRS are Docs, nurses, schedulers working with
an already enrolled (i.e. registered) population. I made this point
to CMS when I beta tested Vista-Office.
Back to evaluate CPRS, how do I start patient registration in the
r&s way?
For example, <<<D Reg^FMPtEnt>>>
Thanks and regards

Yes, that is correct, CPRS was designed to be a retrieval system.
The roll-and-scroll patient registration is the way to enter the
patient
info, it will then be available via CPRS.
I like to use the word archaic as opposed to clumsy. I am sure
there will
be many new features added to the VOE.

Hi Roy,
That is interesting.
Does it mean that CPRS cannot be used to enter 'New patients'?
I cannot enter new patient through the 'Patient selection pop-up'
window. When I close the pop-up, the main screen goes too.
The CPRS and VOE demonstrations show that you can add
information i.e. dx, medications, to a selected patient.
Do I have to enter minimal patient information from the 'roll and
scroll' option, then proceed to CPRS GUI? How to do it in the old
way?
That sounds clumsy, isn't it?
Regards
Kin
