"Don't give up" is all I have to say - you'll need very strong
administrative backing to support your decision to move forward toward a
wireless EMR. I've been through the hell you speak of and survived. Even
though we're not completely paperless for our unit, it's because we don't
have PC's at the bedside. But we're fairly close to paperless.
Your docs will either come around to embrace it or give in and be
quiet. I've implemented NUR 2 different times at 2 different facilities but
utilizing essentially the same medical staff where some are very set in
their ways. The docs won't all be converts but if admins sticks to their
guns, you'll eventually find your success. And admin is KEY to your success
in the units. If you have specific questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

======================================
We have are getting the same feedback from our physicians. We are C/S 5.4,
SR2 and have been live with PCS since May of 2005. They have voiced the
same concerns and I have tried EMR reports and other options, but like you,
they do not like it. They believe they are missing key information because
there is so much information to look at. The "My Panel" option has helped a
little, but any other ideas from the L would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Help! Some of our Critical Care physicians state they can not get the
"whole picture/story" of their patient's progress/problems to successfully
assess and order.
I have been directed to poll the "L" and gather percentages for each of the
questions below.
1. Do you paper document only.
2. Did you document in Meditech but had to return to paper due to this
problem.
3. If you document in the NUR module, how are you satisfying your physicians
need to see the "whole picture". We have used PCI to group several queries,
and have Iatrics VFS to offer but can't seem to tailor this to their needs
either.
We are Magic 4.9, this summer will be 5.5 sr?. We are a small hospital
without residents and interns. We do not want to return to paper!
Thank you in advance.
