Or, possibly, select "All physician notes" and then try to guess which departments were not included (yes, there are some, but they're not going to tell you which ones unless you beg for mercy by email to IT support). This is obviously not the way we want to learn about a patient's medical history. The only reason I can think of why EHR systems are built this way is because some bureaucrat who habitually views healthcare as a collection of departments, but has no idea of how a patient is actually diagnosed and treated, got the ultimate say in how the system was designed. Whatever the case may be, it's a perfectly useless structure of an EHR.
