EMR Announcements

There are currently 4 EMR Announcements:
  1. We have identified a solution for the long printer names in EMR and are currently implementing it in hallway and patient room thin clients in Nurse Station B at Kenworthy. We will monitor this solution to ensure it's working properly over the next couple of days then implement it in Nurse Station A, C , and D. Until then Users in Nurse Station A, C and D will be unable to print from patient rooms.
  2. There is a new form named "Preventive Care-Male-CCC". Here you can document hemoccults, flix sigs, colonoscopies, and barium enemas. You can also use this form to document PSA/Immunizations/DEXA from an additional tab.
  3. There is another new form named "Preventive Care-Female-CCC". Here you can document the same items as "Preventive Care-Male-CCC" plus PAP/Mammo and Osteoporosis/HRT.
  4. There is a new Proxy box called "Department, EMR" to route unmapped lab results to. Any other requests need to go to your EMR clinic team and through the EMR request application.
Please do not route document deletion requests to the EMR staff directly. You may send these to elpasoemr@ttuhsc.edu . This allows us to better track and document new requests.
