Hold up. Google also contradicts if you add "legal medical record":
http://www.google.com/search?q=massachusetts+%22electronic+medical+recor d%22+%22legal+medical+record Websites returned here seem to support the statement, but I don't see any "official" stance. Seems ambiguous to me. _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lawrence, Mitchell Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2007 12:40 PM To: meditech-l@mtusers.com Subject: Re: [MEDITECH-L] {Spam?} Our state does not currently recoginize(sic) the electronic record as the legal medical record.

Can that possibly be true in the same state that Meditech is based in?!

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2007 11:53 AM To: meditech-l@mtusers.com Subject: [MEDITECH-L] {Spam?} We are a CS 5.5.2 site. As we continue to move forward with the advanced clinicals, (PCS,eMAR,EDM, PCM, RXM etc.) Medical records is finding it increasingly difficult to produce a printed copy of the record upon discharge. Our state does not currently recoginize the electronic record as the legal medical record. This leaves medical records printing the chart upon discharge. First, there is no one place that MR can go to print the entire record, leaving them to go to the individual modules which is quite time consuming. Second the quality of the printed record, organization, font size etc just does not lend itself to readability. Are there solutions out there that people are using that allows for one stop printing of the record in a readable, easy to follow and readable format? Thanks for any help you can give with this issue. Danielle J. Peppard RN Clinical Systems Consultant For Berkshire Medical Center _____ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
