> My feeling about these computer orders was that either they should be done You won't get any argument from me on this one. But I have worked in a facility where EVERYTHING was supposed to be done by computer. Charting, orders, progress notes, H&Ps, etc. The hospital was trying to eliminate the huge paper flow. Some of the docs absolutely REFUSED to comply. REFUSED to take the computer class. They would actively seek out old chart forms to write progress notes, orders, etc. Nurses would be responsible to look in the computer for orders as well as the "chart." Orders were missed. For patients who were long term, progress notes were out of order and disorganized. Nurses who missed orders where reprimanded and some were fired. And the docs, well they won. The hospital went back to total paper charting. What an incredible waste. The computers sat idle and only used to look up lab results. Denise, CNM So Cal

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
