Good Morning

The benefit of living on the prairie is the beautiful colors of morning. It promises to be a good day. The equipment is up and running, so the farmer can seed. I get to stay home. I am thinking of sewing part of the day, to rest my brain from the struggles with the electronic health record. It is amazing how much of a ripple effect each change makes. Its not just what is written, but also how information passes from lab to location to physician to patient and gets documented in the record. If the ball is dropped or delayed, bad things can happen. It is a "workflow" issue. It is hard to anticipate the glitches. There are several people involved in the line of communication. How did we do this before the EHR? In a quirky way, it reminds me of CSI where the chain of evidence cannot be compromised if it is to be used in court. Help!
