Here I feel your pain. It can only get better right?!...

Until very recently I was the only one working with HMS and we have a PC specialist. My CIO was finally able to get one of the nurses from the floor 2 days a week to help which has been a wonderful help. I am also excited to meet someone else using HMS. I will certainly be in touch soon.

Yes, We do use HMS. We are currently working on our build of Pt Care Notes. We have been having some of these same discussions. Our go live date is in December so we are begining to feel the pressure. I am not taking the lead on this build as I am the lead for Radiology, Lab, Patient Accounting, Surgery, Scheduling, Clinical View, eMAR, CPOE, Pharmacy, Materials, HIM and Order Entry which we went live with in November. We are a 25 bed critical access hospital with 4 outlying clinics and Homcare. I hear that the Expo they are having in October is a great chance to meet other user, get questions answered and take some classes. I am logged onto their WIKI and plan to attend.

Can I ask what system you are building on? It sound a lot like we are dealing with at my facility.
