STICKIES?

No way will I ever, ever again use those. They get it one patient on a page and I let them know that this is in their best interest, not only my sanity. If you do this charge them for it because I can't see any good coming from doing this for free. Probably what happened was she or someone else (like one of her kids) cut it wrong or stuck it in the wrong chart. How unsafe and unorganized. Each page that I do has patient identifiers (acct, name, date, type of visit, etc) and it is saved in the correct section of the chart by color (pink for progress notes, white for consultations, yellow for surgical follow-ups, etc.) That way it is safer and better for everyone. At a glance you can see if that patient has been established, has had surgical procedures, is preoperative, etc. Even laboratories have their own color (not the laboratories from the lab, but the laboratory reading and or comments by my physicians. The medication sheets are separate as well, and the office keeps these up, not me, but I can access them as necessary to confirm or rule out a medication or change that I "think I hear". Stickies should be against the law. Sorry so negative, but that is the bottom line. I too drive, but unfortunately I drive every day those miles and it gets old, especially when you know that you could send it in safely, more efficiently, and with faster turnaround if they would just get with it and go digital. That is another story. Mostly I find that the OFFICE STAFF, not the doctors, are the ones who want it delivered because they are lazy or inept at computers. Sad and look how much gas we use!

God Bless you for doing this. I can't and won't.

Gracious! You all are spending way too much $$ on stickies

GSMI, Inc. Has good single sheet or flat fold.

Computer Extras has a great price on the large roll of stickies. Their flat fold is too flimsy for my printer and separates too easily.

I usually get 1" perforated roll from Computer Extras for $54 including shipping. It looks like it is for dot-matrix printers (has the holes on the side of the page as leaders to fit the printer) but works great in laser printers. I tear off as little as 6" inches and stack them up in my manual print tray. The leaders give an easy separation guide for the offices, too. The 1" perforation makes little waste when separating multiple chart notes/patients on a page.
