This is a serious problem for my practice - and I would be grateful for
serious ideas.
We are highly computerised (keeping al consultations and prescriptions
on computer), but not paperless - although we would like to be. (EMIS)
We have to employ locums from time to time - and are lucky to be able to
find them.
Problems - from the practice *and the locum's* viewpoint.
1.If you are(or are thinking of going )paperless,what do you do if you
need a locum - especially one not conversant either with your system or
with the way you use your system?
2.If you are a locum(either temporary or permanently and proffesionally)
is it either reasonable or practcal to expect you to be able or willing
to enter all your consultations on the practice computer - asssuming
that every system is diffferent - and usage of the same systems is
probably very different as well?
(are there any locums on GP-UK? *please* either reply or email me
privately.. thgis problem must concern you..)
3.If you are dependant on your computer - paperless or linked - what do
you do about IOS claims and statistics etc if you have a locum?
