18 FINAL NOTES We have done the best possible in changing your menus to accommodate the new functionality. We may have missed something. It is your responsibility to go into the test system and review your day to day functionality to determine if something important is missing. If something is missing please call Applications at Ext 6562 or Pat Mulberger at Ext 5373 (Pat s Meditech Hotline). On the day of LIVE we will primarily be concerned with issues that directly affect patient care. So as not to be frustrated please please review your Order Entry and Scheduling (for OR reports) menus in Test Questions? Call Ext 6562 or contact Pat M. at her regular extension 5781.
