The problem that I usually have comes later on in the process when all you want out of the mass of data is one particular lab result (just one number in most cases or a brief trend) or one particular image from an MRI/CT or other larger data set, which could relate to the clinical problem at hand but was not ordered as such.
All too often those data are difficult to locate and cumbersome to then search. (usually in the middle of the night in some bins of an x-ray department or record room) But apparently and hopefully all of that is changing. > > On 1/23/06, Marc Krawitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > As far as I can tell, VistA doesn't seem to associate orders, lab tests, > > etc. with a patient problem(s).
