·        Eclipsys Issues Bulletin (updated 3/9/2010) – Please refer to the most recent emailed Eclipsys Curriculum and the NYP teaching videos for detailed learning. I know most of you know how to use Eclipsys but reread the curriculum again as the program is complex and you should pick up new tricks.

1.      Please clear your inbox of acknowledged results/shm.

2.      Residents please save your notes as COMPLETE before forwarding to  PIC for cosignature.

3.      Error Messages- there is a very predictable Eclipsys error that may cause you to lose your note. “SAVE OPERATION FAILED” gets triggered consistently when you forget to click med reconciliation when saving the note, AND go back to try to click the med recon after getting a notification.  If you are ever prompted that the note will be saved as an incomplete because the med recon is not checked, JUST SAVE THE NOTE AS INCOMPLETE. Once saved you can go back and re-open the note to correct the med recon box.  By the time you see the “save operation failed message”, the note is lost and will be unsalvageable.
