Upboat to you, sir. also an MD, I wholy agree. I have used AHLTA and CHCS in the military, meditech in New Orleans, Epic at Norfolk General, a few others in various clinics and hospitals. I hate them all. I wish the coders could work in the hospital. Put their desks in room 7, with the diabetic amputee in 6A, the lower GI bleed in 6B, and a nice old lady in 8A with CHF who gets a code called on her every two days for a week. I want those coders to work shift work. I want them to understand the cognitive dissonance. Their efficiency as coders is strictly, profoundly, secondary.
