New and Improved BICS Editor
Effective June 6, clinicians can edit inpatient notes using a version of Microsoft Notepad modified to work in BICS, thanks to BWH Health Information Management and Partners IS. The flow of the dictated notes remains unchanged. A note dictated by a resident will still upload to the BICS queue and remain for seven days for review, editing and signing. The notes will then automatically migrate to the attending’s BICS queue for review and signing. An automatic email reminder will alert the residents and attending physicians when op notes and/or discharge summaries are in BICS queues waiting to be signed.
