EWS preference cards are antiquated so the ability to search and do patient charges from applications. Also the ability to choose multiple cards for a case that will cross reference so there are not duplicate charges.
This would be vital in time saving and cost savings. Currently, if there are 2 or more procedures the surgeons wants to schedule, our schedulers pick the one they think is the biggest in terms of time and supplies (although they are not at all clinical and are wrong half the time). So only 1 procedure is actually scheduled and shows on the schedule in bold, we then have to type the rest of the procedure in the comments field of the EWS scheduling screen and pray no one puts a special character in that field otherwise no face sheets print. We do this so that there are not a ton a duplicate charges to address after the case.
