The only attribute I can think of that would slow the user down would be one that displays a warning message. I think we do have to be careful how often we use these. Too many cause the staff frustration, and quickly result in them ignoring ALL messages. But sometimes I'll use a warning for a few weeks, while the majority of staff absorb the message, then remove it.
Good luck, Sharon ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Susan Willard Sent: Monday, July 23, 2007 4:01 PM To: Lovelace, Chuck; Susan Graham; [email protected] Subject: Re: [MEDITECH-L] NUR Assessment documentation and use of Attribut es We use a lot of default and skip attributes and find them to be very useful.

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.
