Duplications such as blood work. When the Dr. order blood work for the patient, it shows up in multiples in the order section of the patient's EMR. There are times a patient is transferred to another unit, but the orders are still present on the patient's chart from the prvious unit.
Many of the hospitals are in the process of switching to a complete EMR system. However, I noticed there are so many glitches during the switching process. This is causing a lot of duplication in documentation, whether it is Dr's orders or request for blood work. Approximately how long do it take for a hospital to go fully LIVE with an EMR system?:
