Does anyone have a specialty that is struggling using Centricity?
GYN/ONCOLOGY and Interventional Pain Management
Do I have to limit my answer to a specialty? 🙂
High Volume General, ENT and Plastic Surgery Clinics -- they are seeing anywhere from 30-50 patients in a 1/2 - 3/4 day clinic. Using the standard CCC forms is intensely painful for them. In an effort to resolve this, I have teamed up with one of the ENT and Reconstructive Plastics providers to create streamlined VFE forms to help them move more agilely through their clinics.
We seem to be lacking some useful content for our Oncological Surgeons (Breast, General Onc, etc) and Bariatric Surgeon. Some of them have resorted to using Clinically Speaking for most of their documentation ~~ dictate right into the various HPI, Assessment, Plan, etc. fields.
I would build the new form as HTML - the new centricity form implementation.
do you mean the HTML form which is not editable and needs a MEL based form to open it? GE is a joke...
I can't get our docs to touch it. They aren't interested in templating in the least, not saying I really blame them. I got our chiropractor to start templating. I have been working with him every week to add and change some things in the forms we built from scratch. Everything I found online required way too much typing. He agreed to it because his overhead is way to high and dictation is a leading cause of it. He hates it because its so slow, and trust me, he doesn't type if I can program a button but still.
The CCC basic forms for PMH, ROS, PE, Problems, and Patient Instructions are not useful for pediatrics...
