Madhavi,You might want to run a free PSA and take a look of the free/total ration, in addition to velocity. HelenTo: From: reddypatt@...Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2011 15:08:06 +0000Subject: Re: Ticklr/ reminder systems

Thanks everyone. I have some good ideas now on how to develop a tickler system. Still haven't settled on an EMR. Really liked Office Ally for a bit, but had similar issues regarding price changes, inefficient patient portal etc.

there is not one lone tree, but a lone IMP...in Lone Tree!

Clinical question for you all: what to do about PSAs. I have a gentleman who is 56, white, PSA doubled in about a year. Was 0.9 a year ago now 1.8. Nothing remarkable on DRE. He does have increased urinary frequency. If I had my druthers wouldn't have checked a PSA to begin with, but he had it done in the past and wanted it repeated. He is excessively concerned about the increase. Would you just repeat? I don't like the fact that it's really weighing on his mind.

Thanks.
