New Forum Format. Lol.

Panacea Financial Contract Review
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
What's with the circles? Got a new smartphone two weeks ago, and every icon is now circular and (now) indistinguishable from the others.
 
On a tangential note: we got word at my one job site that MediSUCK (mediTECH) is being replaced by another EMR.
Although I'll piss on the grave of MediSUCK, I can't wait to see how dumb the new EMR is.
Whoever thought that not being able to re-size MediSUCK was a good idea?
Also, instead of redesigning the tracking board... lets just jam more data in a smaller space, making everything indistinguishable.
CERNER without the "Large Icons" option is like trying to read a Chinese newspaper. Many many many small characters, none of which look like the items that they're supposed to represent.

I was going to make a Cerner joke about this, but yeah.

Still, CERNER is the best of the options available, save for EPIC which I have limited experience with.
I have a black belt in autotexts.

I’ve become accustomed to CERNER charting. I am able to document charts more quickly. However, my and fellow docs, PPH has dropped significantly.
 
Yeah don’t like the update.

Anybody having post-update trouble logging in? When I try to log on from a computer it acts like I didn’t enter anything. I can only log in from my phone. The horror.

I don't like it. And I can't find out how to run old school mode, either. The new format is too busy and my eyes don't know where to go.
 
Can we opt to use classic mode? I was in classic mode before and it was much nicer.

Why does everything have to change in life? Why can't someone make something, see that it works, and just leave it alone.

Prior to the update you could and I did. But on this new update, I can't find out how to do classic mode. Newer isn't always better. I like classic mode better.

Neutral to it
 
My only complaint is that I can't figure out how to jump to the first-unread reply in a thread anymore. Anyone know how to do this?
 
It should do it automatically when you click the thread title. Mine does.

The stickies need to be highlighted differently or separated from the other threads. It makes it look part of regular threads. @Lee ?

Overall, I'm starting to get accustomed to it and it's not as bad. The basic style should be the default as it's more readable. A few more tweaks and it should be good to go.
 
Too busy, too many colors. A graphic design disaster

You’re getting old, RF.

Also, why do they always change the forum!?!?

Really having a hard time enjoying this new layout. Makes me not want to visit the site as much.

Some of these checkboxes go from being a big square to a small square when checked and unchecked. I am using an older version of Chrome (v49.0) so I wonder if that is the problem. But can't tell if it's checked or unchecked. And so many other little annoying changes.

If you're at HCA... then you're going to "love" PatientKeeper.
 
RustedFox said:
Yeah, we're told we're getting PatientKeeper.
What do you know?

From the inpatient side... worse in every way. My third year of residency we transitioned to PK and it was more annoying to write notes, put in orders, determine what orders were actually active, or do pretty much anything else.

Enjoy your new lab screen. The historical trend at the bottom only displays for which ever lab you clicked on.

Unless this is dummy data (which I'm hoping it is based on SIMHOSPITAL on the right), you have patient information plastered all over the place here. Just checking....

So, I’m going from Cerner FirstNet/PowerChart with Dragon to MediTech and MModal. How bad is my life going to suck for the rest of Residency?
