Many of our physicians have been using EMR notes for a couple of years. They typically cut and paste from the previous day's note and then make changes. It certainly makes them much easier to read. We will turn PCM on in a few months (too many bugs/missing features in our current version, C/S 5.5.2) and then give them individually the choice of using EMR Notes or PCM. Since all physicians are not entering notes, we print all notes at 4 am and 4 pm to put in the paper chart. We have a hospital goal of all physicians entering notes online by the end of May 2008. We are also rolling out Dragon/Nuance speech recognition for the non-typing physicians. One physician has been using it ½ year for EMR Notes and it works fine, even when he dictates in the unit hallways. Julie Ames RML Specialty Hospital

I was hoping to find an organization that has entertained this request and if so, what was the end result? Did you support this request? Did you have any compliance issues/concerns? What is the impact of having physicians document in the notes selection of the EMR and then move toward with PMO?
