·        AIM Providers please set up your inbox filter properly so it can retrieve all your SHM and results (see Eclipsys Curriculum Chapter 4 for more info)

·        Problems printing Rx? 2 errors now exist. One  recent error causes you to lose the “.R” local exam room printer recognition (this goes away with login out of citrax as and Eclipsys completely). I’ve heard that this server problem has been fixed as of 7/23. The second error causes the Rx printer to freeze unpredictably when you are printing several Rxs within a structure note template. This error is more sporadic and still being worked on. Avoid printing rxs within your note template if at all possible. 

·        New Eclipsys Rx change - Supervising Attending/license number is no longer required for uploading Eclipsys Rxs. This follows the change in NYS laws (see link for info) which no longer requires attending license # as long as the unlicensed resident has a NPI number on Rx. It should save our residents a step in entering Rxs on Eclipsys. For any of the Jr/Sr residents who do not see their NPI auto-populating their printed Rxs (check your user preference in the Rx writer menu to make sure you have NPI set to print on your Rx). The Chiefs’ office is helping to gather all intern NPIs so it will be loaded for into Eclipsys Rx writer ASAP.
