Agree 100%. Our physicians currently document on the paper version of the T-system. Family physicians have actually complained stating the documentation the ED physicians do on paper means nothing to them. They cannot figure out what happened with the patient while in the ED. We are currently using the tracker through EDM...we are doing a site visit this week to look at Mount Nittany's EDM nursing documentation. Hoping I get buy-in from ED nursing staff.

Oh, they all love the T. You can build your T templates into Meditech, not really that difficult as I see it. We've used the paper T for a long time and I personally see that the documentation done by these ER docs is horrendous. We've been live with EDM for over two years now, they really like what they have so far, including ePrescribing. But, the culture change to get the docs to enter their orders and documentation is going to have to be pushed by more than me. I see us probably another year or so before we take on that battle, make them the first docs to go live after implementation of PCM. - Jackie Great River -----Original Message----- From: Gregersen, Glenn A [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2007 6:35 PM To: CS/Smith, Romona E.; _SISU - Clinical Systems Users Group; [email protected] Subject: RE: EDM Rallying the troops! Please post as we are also fighting this battle - ER docs wanted T sheets... _____ From: Romona E. Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2007 3:32 PM To: _SISU - Clinical Systems Users Group; [email protected] Subject: EDM Rallying the troops! We are just beginning EDM implementation (CS 5.5 SR2). I am looking for creative ways to encourage and interest the ED staff in this project. You know they love their paper charts! I plan to make monthly flyers to keep them updated on the progress of the Core Team. PCS is used house wide but the ED nurses have never documented in Meditech nor do they look at the EMR. I thought of having a drawing for the staff members that document set assessments on a TEST pt that I set up. This would at least get them looking at the system. I'm hoping you all have more creative thoughts than I - any suggestions? Romona E.
