We use Allscripts and are in the process of setting up PDV. Since Allscripts and PDV are not yet compatible, it seems that I will need to input all the patient information from Allscripts into the PDV which appears will be more work since now I only need to print out the Patient Data sheet and clinical notes form Allscripts and give it to the volunteer. Any suggestions are welcomed from PDV users?

Those who companion suffering daily, such as hospice nurses and volunteers, will surely appreciate this beautiful work. With 62 original art collages by Rashani Réa, five beautiful chapters by Kathy Douglas, and a foreword by Jean Watson, this exquisite book is a peaceful refuge for contemplation, inquiry, reflection and inspiration for those who traverse the joys and sorrows of nursing.
Kathy Douglas, RN, MPH-HA is a nationally recognized nurse leader, filmmaker and entrepreneur.
Rashani Réa is a prolific artist and musician, a creatrice of sanctuaries and a respected spiritual mentor.
“This is a beloved book and beyond a book. It is an evocative, poetic, ecstatic, and inspirited sacred, experiential calling. A calling to you--YES, YOU.”
— Jean Watson, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, FAAN, Living Legend (AAN)
“Those who companion suffering daily need to turn inward to metabolize what they have witnessed. This exquisite book, filled with beautiful images and poetic wise words, is the inspiration and support needed to grow a wise heart.”
— Frank Ostaseski, founder and director of the Metta Institute and author of The Five Invitations: Discovering What Death Can Teach Us About Living Fully
“In this unique time of the COVID-19 pandemic, this book should be considered a tribute to the tremendous courage being displayed by nurses around the world. There is much wisdom conveyed throughout by those who have been there serving others with such grace.”
— Greg Schneider President, HVA, co-author of The Changing Face of Hospice Volunteering in Hospice and Palliative Care

Dear Mary Jane,
We have many Allscripts users. The PDV is very useful for them. Please contact me and we will send you some references to volunteer coordinators who are finding the PDV to be very useful.

Hi Mary Jane,
The restriction is on the Allscripts side. They have no capability to interface with 3rd party software like the PDV. However, the PDV can work with you to create one. Our last communication with Allscripts last year was that they are working on it.
Please contact me via e-mail as we may have a solution for you. We just need to know more about how you use Allscripts. Perhaps it would be best if could have Jude contact me and we can discuss the technical side of things.
