Hello all,

We've been slowly rolling out a program called TypeItIn as an adjunct to Centricity. It sits on the desktop and allows one to build menus that fire quicktexts (the hundreds we have that no one can remember them all!) and run scripts to automate and speed up use of Centricity (essentally macros). An advantage is that its cheap- a network license is about $30 per PC, forever. And once someone builds master menus, they can be put in a shared folder and maintained for everyone.

Very useful for: doing instructions for the darn CVS

automating review/tasks for nurses (e.g. prevention/wellness, or diabetes metrics review)

"One Click" common tasks like printing letters, setting common orders, etc.

Also helpful for the doc that just can't get the hang of Dragon.

I built a website demo'ing this for our docs, there are 3 instructional videos you can download.

I have no financial interest in this program.

Cheers.

Looks interesting, do you know if it will work with EMR running as a Citrix client?

I created a custom script for automate report export to pdf with autohotkey ( http://www.autohotkey.com/ ) or AHK for short.

It can look for active windows and has a very robust scripting language, which will dump text. It is more involved that type it in. However we use Remtoe App (microsoft version of citrix published aps) and ahk can read window titles and do things based on the information.

its freeware

Type It In can open a "group" menu by reading the title of the active window. We use Centricity exclusively in Citrix and it works well. I also use it in other applications like email for things I type frequently.

Recently set up a menu to rotate the patient information/reminders for the clinical visit summaries given in our Coumadin clinic. Very nice, reinforces advice ("wear your seatbelt", "eat your veggies, but same amt every day", etc.) for safe use of med.

Its great for stuff you do over and over. I built a button that opens our Clinical Visit Summary letter, changes the output printer to the Front Desk and prints the letter, and records that I did so in the chart with OBS term punch (via quicktext) for audit, all with one click. I use it on every patient, and have a CVS rate over 95%.
