- "Staring at a screen to click boxes and satisfy quality measures while figuring out the seventeenth digit for an ICD-10 code—this nonsense robs us of precious time and attention that should be spent on and with patients."
- "crappy cut-and-paste notes and more preventable errors."
- "Like 43 percent of doctors polled by the American Medical Association, I believe that the EHR had has made my job much more difficult."
- “I spend more time clicking boxes than assessing and caring for my patients.”
- “The EMR is built for the billers and not for health care providers. Doctors and patients should be the focus of EMR design, not reimbursements.”
- “Technology should make the message more clear, legible and transferable. Patients look at their own chart and do not recognize themselves.”
- “EHRs were designed to decrease errors. I don’t believe I am making fewer errors. I am simply making different errors.”
- “We have two hospital systems in the Rochester NY area. Both use (the same EHR), but different versions and they do not communicate. What?!!”
More on EHR:
- "I click and open a dropdown menu. A long list of folders appears, representing scanned-in prior notes. The folders are differentiated only by date. I start opening them."
- "So every doctor you visit is going to ask you the exact same questions: what medications do you take, what chronic medical conditions do you have, what are your allergies, have you had a mammogram?"
- "Main source of burnout"
- Government is enfocing meaningful use
- To transfer between platforms you have to print, scan it in and then click through folders to find the data.
- Can't extract data esialy from any EHR for doctors and analysts
- Silo patient by phases of care
- Adjusting Interfaces (Nurse vs Doctor vs Surgeon vs Outpatient vs Inpatient vs Cancer...)
- They have customization but there is not time for that
