QHR Product Ideas

Right now the 'Demographics' tab of the 'Patients' section has space for two physicians, 'Ref by' and 'Family Physician'. Other providers can be added under the 'Providers' tab. As a specialist, for most of my patients the 'Ref by' is one and the same as the 'Family Physician'. What I do want is a simple way to list physicians that I should 'CC' under that same 'Demographics' tab, rather than splitting them under different areas. A simple scrolling list that I can add to would suffice. Then, when a letter is generated, a list of those providers could be made automatically available on the left side so that I can select the ones I wish to cc. This would also enable me to tell our transcriptionist to 'make CCs to all providers' or something similar, without spelling out names. Some flexibility in this is helpful: sometimes I only need to write to the family doc and a default setting of an automatic cc to all providers may not be appropriate.

Under the 'Patient Information' tab of the 'EMR' section, at the top right one can see the 'Referring Physician' and a 'Family Physician' with a large area of empty white screen available. Why not link this area to the scrolling list of other providers that I suggest and have a one stop area to see all of the current providers for the patient? It would be fine to just list them with name and specialty. Putting that information in the EMR would be so much better than forcing me to open the 'Patients' section and then clicking the 'Providers' tab.
