Batch Printing - The LMR now allows batch printing of the Summary Report, Face Sheet, or Last Visit Note from the Schedule. You can also choose to limit the visit notes included in batch printing, if applicable, to only notes from your practice. See Batch Printing from the Schedule for details.
Backup Process - The LMR now includes a backup process that can help ensure that you have access to patient data in event of a problem with the network or LMR. Each day, the LMR automatically saves a copy of face sheet information for all patients scheduled for appointments on the following business day. However, to make sure that this information is available to you, someone from your practice needs to save a copy of this file to a local workstation in your area. This needs to be done by the end of each day. For additional information, contact your LMR support analyst.
Reminders - The Summary now includes a list of reminder items, if applicable. These items are intended to serve as reminders of health maintenance issues based on the patient's age, sex, and past medical history. The LMR reviews medical record and clinical data to determine if a reminder is indicated. For example, for patients over 65 years old, the LMR checks to see if a flu shot has been recorded (using either the Immunization or Health Maintenance module) within the past 12 months. If not found, the LMR includes the reminder: "Patient is 65 years old or older, recommend Influenza vaccine."
New Mini Face Sheet Report - The LMR now includes a new report, intended to replace the Mini Amb's version of the Face Sheet report for BWH patients. It provides a brief listing of the patient's active problems, medications, and allergies, as well as health maintenance items and reminders.
Custom Reports - You can now create custom reports, allowing you to select just the information you want to report, in the order you want it reported. See Creating Custom Reports for details.
Unsigned Data - The Unsigned Data screen now allows you to view display details of data before signing. See Working With Unsigned Data for details.
Adding Problems, Allergies, Medications, Nonmedications, and Procedures - A button has been added (Ok-Add) to save you time when adding multiple items. Clicking this button allows you to simultaneously accept an item and redisplay the Add screen.
Free-Form Notes Enhancement - A new button, Other FS Items, allows you to import (copy) other items from the Flowsheet module into a note. This includes all flowsheet entries made for the current date, except for vital signs.
