NPR - CHEATING 101

Food for thought: NPR Report Writing is an Open Book Exam

Pareto's Law says that 80% of the effects are caused by 20% of the causes. I'd like to apply this law to NPR Report Writers and say that only 20% of the NPR report writers refer to the MEDITECH NPR Data Definitions on a regular basis. They accomplish what they set out to do in a timely manner. It would seem as if they cheat. The kind of cheating I'm referring to is more like: trickery OR unfair advantage.

Of course, the best NPR programmers really don't cheat; they DO realize that writing a report is an open book exam. I suggest that 80% of the people writing NPR Reports don't use the best resource available to them: the MEDITECH Online Data Definitions. You'll notice that experienced NPR Report Writers either have them memorized or refer to them on a constant basis. I sarcastically call this cheating; its really not cheating. Its just such an obvious thing to do; that a lot of people overlook it.

Next time you are stuck on an NPR report; try referring to MEDITECH Online Data Definitions and see if that doesn't unstick you.
