I just discovered that the numeric menus in 5.5 responded to mouse clicks (not so in 5.4). I love it... Now we did create NUI Desktop menus for EDM and ADM REG Staff. Even if you keep the numeric menus, your users will have to get used to using the mouse for status board and flow sheet (not to mention EDM). You might be able to create shortcut keys for some routines, but the new functionality of clicking on a result indicator or patient name to get a demographic snapshot is well worth using the mouse. I agree that we should have valid reasons for change, and all menus and users do not need Desktop menus. This is my humble opinion.

And regardless of which menus you use, you gain all the 'windows' benefits once inside the application.

The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== The issue with using the desktop menus for users is that they now must become mouse proficient. That may be a hurdle for some users and if you are using laptops with a small mouse pad it can increase that level of difficulty. To me there should be a reason for changes we make. If users have been navigating their menus fine without the mouse, what is the reason you give the users for changing up their whole navigation structure? Now, in some instances there might be a good reason to change to the desktop menus. But, I think that decision should be made because the benefits clearly out weight the detractions - not simply because Meditech can do it.

If you keep the menus the same, users will only have the color difference to contend with. If you have attributes or NPR reports that print to screen you may need to adjust them to work with NUI because the row/column stuff is different.
