If I removed my attributes from all my nursing documentation screens I would have a staff mutiny on my hands and fear for my life :-)
Attributes allow you to make Meditech do what it should have been able to do in the first place. The only problem with using attributes that Meditech does not support, (about 80% of mine) is when they change the code for a new ring release, you have to figure out how to rewrite the attribute to use the new code, and they will not help you.

We are utilizing several attributes ( skip queries, pop-up boxes, etc.) on our admission and shift assessments in the hopes that they will save clinicians time. We are looking for validation as to the use of attributes, insight into the pros and cons because we are hearing that while they can be a time saver, they can slow staff down as well. Thanks in advance for sharing any of your real-world attribute experiences (pro and con)with us. Our plan includes the use of the Iatric VFS too.
