The DUH! Moment of the Day

I stumbled on a totally obvious but hugely time-saving little trick today. I like having a full ten charts "open" at one time (you can tell they're open because the names are on the tabs along the botom of the page on the "Patient Charts" page), but the last thing I want to do when I'm walking in the office late after rounding is stop and one-by-one open those charts so they're ready to go.
So, you can open all ten charts AT ONCE by pulling up your schedule (click on the EKG button at upper left) and click on each chart you want open to highlight it (it will change color). Then click on the open chart icon on the left hand side of the toolbar (the normal way you've been opening patient charts). You'll see all ten charts open up along the bottom. When the tabs are there, you can switch from one chart to another without closing or opening the chart.

I've noticed a couple of problems with the WCP 2 week template-- one is that I didn't put in the normals as the defaulted response, so I went ahead and did it. When you check the EM coding, it might tell you the physical exam isn't coded. We're working on this, but it will still code for the correct well child visit so don't worry.
