It's been tough but at the same time kind of nice to be untethered from it. Everyone on my panel has my number so they can call if they need something.

I was able to get the one MHV message I wanted to send off today but otherwise yeah couldn't do much on that front.

There are a lot of great things about working inpatient, but not having MHV is definitely up there.

Do you guys also have the stupidest system for MHV? Like, they email everyone in the clinic so the majority of the time you're clicking the link for no reason?

I remember a few years ago, our messages were (thankfully) mostly just our own. But we were still divided into small teams that didn't necessarily make a lot of sense, so I would occasionally get messages meant for other providers/teams (e.g., the PCT). If I'd had to deal with getting emails for the entire facility or service, I probably would've thrown my computer out a window.

There is a setting in MHV to only get alerted to messages assigned to you!
