Thanks Mandy,
Although the PEN CAT tool (http://www.pencs.com.au/prod_detail.asp?cat_id=10&prod_id=20) works on Genie, the DCP does not. However, Genie has some internal functions that are similar to the DCP, such as the ‘EPC Summary’ button.
Cheers,
Tony

Hi there Tony,

I am really pushing the use of the Doctor’s Control Panel down here (Riverina) & really appreciate your endorsement via your emails etc….it’s so brilliant – not hard to push really! Knowing that you are a Genie user….I wondered if there is anything quite like it for Genie practices – I’ve got 3 practices using Genie. We’ve rolled out the CAT tool down here to 19 practices with quite good success – the hard part now from my perspective is managing all the data & feeding back – hopefully that may all improve soon with further enhancements.

There are several warnings (Not related to guidelines ) at top or bottom of panel which are Orange.
eg PATIENT IS SMOKER/EXSMOKER , patient has un-notified/outstanding pathology

Also Some MBS items may be orange if the item is not due to be repeated but ‘can be repeated if circumstances have changed’ as per MBS guidelines.

Dear Dr Knieriemen
We have found your Doctor’s Control Panel to be very useful and a great advantage.
Could you please let us know the difference between the yellow tag and the orange tag.
Many thanks
