I have yet to write about work on this blog because I was using the blog more for activities in Denver, but in the last couple of weeks work has taken a bit more of my time. I implement Electronic Medical Record software. At my previous job, I would stare at my cube walls and was bored beyond belief. Now I don't have a desk, and I'm lucky if I can find a computer to work on in-between running around the clinic. At the beginning of an implementation we have to field a lot of complaints. It's a change and more work for the clinic staff. After awhile you hear the same comments over and over again. I cherish when the docs can get creative in expressing their frustrations.
The name of the EMR software vendor is "Allscripts". I was sitting in a room helping a nurse with the software and a doctor who had yet to be trained came up behind us. He saw what we were doing and said (with a german accent): "Vhat is this? This Allscripts, this crapscripts, this bullscripts." This is the not so subtle way the doctors like to express their dislike of the program. By the way, after being trained that doc actually said how he saw it could be useful. Now we wait to see if he actually uses it...
