Hey Microsoft: it is EHR – not HER
February 25, 2006 at 11:13 am 3 comments
I have identified the single greatest contribution that Microsoft can make to healthcare.
They need to remove the Auto Correct option in the office applications that turns “EHR” into “HER”. I am so tired of correcting Microsoft’s correction. I realize that this can be turned off through options. But, I use many computers (including Citrix). And everytime I get a new one I have to make this change.
I also know that this could probably be fixed globally with some good desktop management tools and a registry change (let me know if you know where this resides). However, my desktop management fokls have not figured this out yet.
It seems like Bill Crounse would have enough pull to have Microsft make this fix globally.

EHR -> HER Solution:
What you can do is iteratively build a commonly used words (relevant to your company or healthcare industry) into a custom.dic and tell Desktop Management team to push this into all users machines and Citrix Boxes. Hope this helps..!!

I have not solved this issue specifically but I beleive you IT staff may be able to solve this by using Office Administrative Templates (ADM). You can create a template that has auto-correct set to “off” and then use group policies (part of active directory) to “push” these templates to all workstations.
Another option would be to create a customized auto-correct file that would exclude the common correction that are actually contra-efficient. This “editted” file could be “pushed” to all workstations as well. I believe the first option would be the most effective because it reduces the need to identify all the possible auto-corrections that are contra-efficient.
Just my thoughts.
