This means that there is no way that i can have a patient run CPRS? Don't you think it would be fine if a patient could be given an Access code and Verify code. This could then open-up CPRS with only that patient's record. That is, it will not have the first popup screen where you select the patient. and obviously it need be read only probably only the reports tab! Guess this may call for some alteraltion of the CPRS code! But I was thinking of this as a possibility?
