I'm not allowed to put the patient's name in the body of my reports - sm

Those are my account specs. Boy, it would be nice if they are going to have rules that they be global. It's just I have been dinged in the past for putting a name in a report and now being told to put the spouse/children's names if dictated. I guess I will just do as I'm told until someone else tells me something different. Seems to be the way that it goes. One day I'm doing it this way and another it's another way.
