[humanser] Scripting for EMR

[JD Townsend]

My experience is that employers do not hire someone who needs 
"accomadations" when other applicants are available.

Yes, Blind Services can be horribly slow and non-accomadating, but scripting 
is essential if you are to negotiate the multiple screens in an electronic 
medical record program.  For mine I must review psychiatric notes for their 
most current diagnosis, move between at least 7 different pages to do one 
progress note.  Each of these pages is different and reads differently using 
your basic screen reader program.  By having the program scripted you can do 
the chore, but without the scripting, at least with my EMR, it would be 
totally impossible.

I would prepare your Blind Services case manager that you will, most likely, 
need the help.  Remember that they get credit for your becoming employed. 
It is in their best interest to be your best helper.  If your case manager 
is a jerk, clinically speaking, simply go up the ladder;  advocate your 
yourself.

I do know that it rubs the wrong way to feel beholding to Blind Services, 
but they can be agreeable to provide you with a braille display or note 
taker, or other devices that can make your job possible.  In fact, that is 
their job.

Quinto,
excellent questions. I hear all about scripting as a solution and I wonder
how good it actually is. Is it just to give you semi access, enough to get
by?
Importantly, who paid for it and how long did it take? I hesitate to rely on
the state agency for the blind as they are slow and inefficient.
I'd rather work out accomodations with my employer if at all possible.

Hi list,

I am curious for those of you who have had someone come in and write scripts
to make EMR programs more accessible, how well did that work? Were you then
able to use all aspects of the software or was it only the most essential
features needed for your employment? Were you able to read history, case
notes, assessments, appointment scheduling.... and were you able to not only
read but insert information as needed? Thanks in advance.
