Problem: Electronic Health Records
The medical assistant is beginning a new position, and she is confused because, in the office where she worked before, medical records for patients with the prefix "Mc" and "Mac" were filed together and not in strict alphabetic order. She is able to file records of these patients using strict alphabetic order, but she is having trouble finding the patient records when she has to prepare records for the next day's patients. She wishes that this office would file the same way she is used to. What are some suggestions that might be helpful?
What are electronic signatures? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using electronic signatures for physicians and medical staff?
