We have found a "flaw" with the FH-SH-CCC form. Here is the hypothetical situation:
Dr. Smith see's patient 03-15-16 and notes that patient's maternal grandmother had breast cancer. He puts his note on hold until he can complete it.
Patient returns and see's Dr. Hopp 03-26-16 and does not collect any FH info. Since the previous note by Dr. Smith is still unsigned nothing pulls forward into the FH. Dr. Hopp completes his note and signs it. So therefore his FH did not show that the patient's maternal grandmother had breast cancer.
Dr. Smith completes his note.
Patient comes in for an appt 04-18-16 and again nothing pulls forward into the FH, even though Dr. Smith's note is now signed. Because it is still pulling in the most recent FH which was from Dr. Hopp's visit.
So this could potentially result in a patient having to let our office know once again that they have a FH of breast cancer.
Ideally our providers would finish their notes in a more timely manner but since that is not currently happening does anyone have a process they have found to work to avoid FH info not pushing forward??
I wish it would work like the med and problem lists where they just stay on the list until they are removed.

Tell me about it... in my opinion this is one of the smaller flaws when trying to use CCC for FH and SH.
