Hi everyone.
My entry today is about patient data entry. In Perth the hospitals I have been to have all used AHS as the stats program. However in Morawa (rural prac) they have some wacky weird (and LONG WINDED) program for patient stats. It was so weird using the new program and you had to know all these special codes to put in information. I found it hard for the first week, and although I got the hang of it, I just felt like it was a total waste of time.. It took 5 minutes just to put one persons data in! And when you've got 10 to put in, thats almost an hour! Anyway, enough of my complaining. I just wanted to see what other people used on their rural placements? I told my physio about AHS and she sounded really interested about it. Can you believe I was actually promoting AHS? Thats when you know things are bad...Anyway I just think it would be great if rural areas could have an easy to use system like AHS.. Anyone else think so?

Hey Caris
Looks like it's only you and me posting at the moment. I've been using what I assume is the smae stats package as you have for the last 4 weeks and I couldn't agree more - it's pretty long winded. If I go country next year I'm going to campaign for AHS in all hospitals! Hope you enjoyed your rural placement as much as I did.

Hi Caris
I have just begun my rural prac. I am lucky enough to have a supervisor who says she will enter all my stats for me if I just write down patient names, DOBs and conditions. I think that this is great because until you get used to a system (and even sometimes when you are used to it!) it can take a lot of time, which could be better spent reading up on tricky patients or something like that.
